    Abstract

    International association for the study of pain describes neurological discomfort as a form of persistent pain brought on by a damage or dysfunction of the voluntary nervous system. A lesion is a harm to the voluntary system, whereas a disease is an indirect injury brought on by metabolic stress, autoimmune disorders, inflammatory diseases, and other factors. According to estimates, 6.9 to 10 percent of the people at large experiences neurological discomfort. The dorsal region of the spinal cord receives distress feedback normally through the delta- A and delta-C afferent fibers. Neurotransmitters including peptide P and glutamic are activated in the posterior horn to deliver sensations of pain to the receiving neuron. Allodynia, hypersensitive pain, numbness, Dysesthesias and sensory deficits within the affected region are a few examples of the painful and nonpainful signs and symptoms that typically accompany neuropathic pain. Quantitative sensory testing, electromyography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nerve conduction velocity testing are examples of special examinations. Based on a thorough evaluation, drugs were catagorised as primary, secondary, and tertiary treatments. Gabapentinoids,SNRI’s, and TCA’s added as initial therapies. PGB, Venlafaxine, lamotrigine, and mild opioids, particularly tramadol, as secondary treatments for chronic neurological disorderresulting from spinal cord injury, stroke, and central neuropathic pain. Strong opioids like methadone and oxycodone in multiple sclerosis were all categorised as third-line treatment. Primary therapies Since more than ten years ago, first-line DMTs for RRMS have included interferon-ßs and glatiramer acetate. Natalizumab, a second-line therapy, is typically used to treat patients who don't respond well to first-line DMTs. Stem cells have emerged as an innovative approach for the treatment of spinal cord injury their neuroregenerative, neuroprotective, and immunomodulatory abilities
