  • Nerve Pain (Neuralgia, Neuropathy, Neuritis), is a type of pain which originates from the peripheral and/or central nervous system. The source of the pain is commonly due to the nerve being trapped, damaged, compressed, or pinched, and less commonly due to some other disease process affecting the nerve.
