ICD-11 code : 8E43.0;
Preferred Label : Neuropathic pain;
ICD-11 definition : Neuropathic pain is described as electric, burning, or shock like, caused by metabolic,
nutritional, infectious, genetic, autoimmune, and/or vasculitic processes. The pain
may occur spontaneously, without provocation, or be provoked by noxious or nonnoxious
stimuli. Pain is characteristic of small fibre neuropathy, but even in large fibre
neuropathies, a sufficient number of small fibres may be damaged to cause pain. Neuropathic
pain usually affects distal skin and subcutaneous structures. The pain may be constant
or intermittent, and may be described as searing, burning, or icy cold. Complex regional
pain syndrome follows trauma and comprises regional pain, sensory changes, abnormalities
of temperature, sudomotor activity, colour changes of the skin, and edema.;
