Pain mechanisms and the management of neuropathic pain
Curr Opin Neurol Neurosurg.
1992 Apr.
Abstract
The nociceptive system is not fixed, but changes in response to its input and activity. This 'plasticity' comprises dynamic developments of both pro- and antinociceptive processes. Recent advances in the understanding of these processes have important implications for the treatment of persistent neuropathic pain.
