Ep 5. Neuropathic Pain

Diagnosing and treating neuropathic pain is very challenging. Now that you understand nociceptive pain, we’ll help you see the clear difference between that and neuropathic presentations.

Justine and Dan break down how to best treat different types of pathologies, from first line medications and navigating side effect vs benefits, through fourth line more invasive interventional options like neuromodulation, intrathecal therapies and low dose opioid options.

Making decisions around treatments is challenging and unique, and based on a lot of factors that are individual to the patient. We’ll discuss these different limitations with this type of pain and considerations you should go through so you have more effective options to consider as a patient or provider.
