Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neuropathic pain is caused by trauma or disease of nerves and leads to abnormal processing of sensory information by the peripheral and central nervous system.

Answer: A
 Myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by trigger points or knots in the muscles, which cause localized pain and sometimes referred pain.

Answer: C
 Deafferentation pain results from damage to the somatosensory system, causing a loss of input from the body's sensory receptors and an altered perception of pain.

Answer: D
 SMP is a type of pain that is maintained by the sympathetic nervous system, often following trauma or injury. It is characterized by changes in skin color, temperature, and sweating, as well as pain that is not responsive to traditional analgesics.
