Özet
Chronic pain is an important problem following spinal cord injury (SCI) with a prevelance around 65 %. One third of these people rate their pain as severe. A number of pain syndromes such as the transitional zone and central dysesthesia syndromes are associated with spinal injury based on the nature of the lesion, neurological structures damaged, and secondary pathophysiological changes. Accurate identification of pain types will help in selecting appropriate treatment approaches. Current pain treatment includes pharmacological approaches, surgical approaches, psychosocial modalities, electrical stimulation procedures, neurolytic injections, and physical modalities. But, results of these treatments are still controversial, Increased understanding of the pathogenesis of nociceptive, and neurogenic pain syndromes will enable clinicians develop effective therapies for these pain states that will improve the quality of life of patients with SCI.
