On October 25 I gave a Conference on Neuropathic Pain at the Expo Hotel Barcelona, organized by Grünenthal Pharma, in order to update the scientific training of medical specialists in the treatment of pain.
Neuropathic pain is a very common condition that affects a large number of people and includes diseases such as neuralgia, radicular pain caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative neurological disease, pain after surgical procedures,so.
The conference delved into the study of the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain in ionic changes that originate in the neuronal hyperexcitability in the effects produced on the second neuron and the subsequent mechanism of central sensitization.
The final discussion was very interesting and contributed to an exchange of experiences among professionals.
