The Professional Master’s Degree Pain of TECH trains professionals to bring the treatment to the patient with neuropathic pain in clinical instance
Neuropathic pain is the result of damage or dysfunction of the peripheral or central nervous system, rather than stimulation of pain receptors and it is usually felt in the hands and feet but can also be felt in other parts of the body and can last for months or years. For that reason, it is necessary to have an expert handle this situation and the Professional Master’s Degree Pain from TECH is focused on the treatment of this condition.
Bearing in mind the earlier point, it is necessary to identify the symptoms which are different depending on the person, daily activities, and consider that it is different from the usual pain after an injury or surgery. This can manifest itself as feelings of burning, cramps, shock pain, numbness, pressure, shooting pain, tightness, mild stinging sensation, or soft contact (such as that of loose clothing or bed sheets) may produce an unpleasant or even painful sensation on the skin. However, some people do not know the causes of neuropathic pain, the following are some common ones:
- Chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin, paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, vincristine
- Radiation therapy
- Monoclonal antibodies
- A tumor that presses on a nerve
- Scar tissue that forms after surgery
- A new injury or new wound
- Infections, such as the herpes zoster virus (shingles)
- Chronic diseases such as diabetes
The treatment must be guided by a professional to decrease or drop the cause of the pain, try to reduce the size of a tumor pressing on a nerve, allow the patient to keep their usual level of activity, and improve the patient’s quality of life and usually consists of medication or nerve blocks such as anti-seizure medications, antidepressants, opioids, steroids, or topical and local anesthetics.
