Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neuropathic pain is due to abnormal processing of sensory input by the peripheral or central nervous system and is often described as shooting, prickly, tingling, or like an electric shock. Nociceptive pain is the result of normal processing of stimuli that damage normal tissue or has the potential to do so if prolonged. Somatic and visceral pains are types of nociceptive pain.
