the quality of their lives.

To help people with neuropathic pain access the most appropriate treatment and provide them the support to improve their lives.

What Is Neuropathic Pain?

Neuropathic pain (NeP) is a type of chronic pain caused by injury or disease of the nervous system that frequently results in a burning, tingling and shock-like sensation.

Nerve pain is often puzzling and frustrating for people with NeP and physicians, as it seems to respond poorly to standard pain therapies. It also can last indefinitely, may escalate over time and can result in disability.
