Abstract		Neuropathic pain is defined as pain due to a lesion or dysfunction of the normal sensory pathways in either the peripheral or central nervous system. It may accompany many different neurologacal diseases. Symptoms and signs may occur spontaneously or are evoked and are a concequence of different pathophysiological mechanisms. Several improvements have been made in understanding of pain pathophysiology and treatment of pain: nevertheless the treatment of neuropathic pain remain a challenge in clinical practice.
Summary		Nevropatska bolečina je posledica primarne okvare ali disfunkcije perifernega ali osrednjega živčnega sistema in se javlja pri različnih boleznih. Simptomi in znaki so lahko spontani ali vzbujeni in so posledica različnih patofizioloških mehanizmov: Kljub napredku v razumevanju patofiziologije bolečine in številnim novim metodam zdravljenja, ostaja zdravljenje nevropatske bolečine težavno.
