Can neuropathic pain include tingling?
Yes, neuropathic pain can often include tingling. Neuropathic pain is a type of pain that results from damage or dysfunction of nerves in the peripheral or central nervous system.
It can manifest in different ways; tingling is just one of the familiar sensations associated with neuropathic pain. Other common symptoms of neuropathic pain may include burning, stinging, or electric shock-like sensations. These sensations usually differ from the dull, aching, or throbbing pain associated with other types of pain, such as musculoskeletal pain.
