New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/02/2015 -- Neuropathic pain results from damage or dysfunction of the peripheral and central nervous system (CNS). Pain can develop after injury to any level of the nervous system. Some of the major syndromes include postherpetic neuralgia, painful traumatic mononeuropathy, root avulsions, painful polyneuropathy, central pain syndromes, postsurgical pain syndromes, and complex regional pain syndrome. Most commonly prescribed medications for neuropathic pain include antidepressants (also known as tricyclic antidepressants), anticonvulsants (also called neuroleptic medications), and anesthetics. Major antidepressants include Nortriptiline and Amitriptyline. Carbamazepine, Valproic Acid, Felbamate, Clonazepam, and Phenytoin are the most commonly used anticonvulsants for the treatment of neuropathic disorders.
