Neuropathic pain is a
difficult-to-treat pain caused by nerve damage associated with spinal cord
injuries, multiple sclerosis, some strokes, diabetes, metabolic conditions,
immune disorders, trauma, cancer, or as a side effect of chemotherapy.
New
evidence shows that inflammation in nervous tissue is a large contributing
factor to neuropathic pain and exercise can reduce this 30-50%.
This is great
news for neuropathic pain sufferers as common treatments for this condition
involve antidepressant and antiepileptic medications that may have serious
side-effects.
