Nerve Pain Treatment in West Delhi

Overview

Nerve pain (neuropathic pain) occurs when the nerves are damaged or not functioning correctly. At their best, the nerves send signals from different parts to the brain. Still, when irritated, compressed, or damaged, they can send faulty signals and confuse the brain into thinking the body is hurt, even when there is no injury in the tissues. This type of pain can be:-

• Peripheral: Nerve pains outside the brain and spinal cord (e.g., in arms, legs, feet).
• Central: Arising from the brain or spinal cord (for example, stroke conditions, multiple sclerosis, or injuries to the spinal cord).

Nerve pain is entirely different from other kinds of pain. Patients usually experience it as burning, stabbing, electric shock-like, or tingling. Sometimes, it may come and go, and most of the time, it will stay constant. 

Causes of Nerve Pain

Nerve pain has so many causes:-

• Diabetes: damage done to the nerves by prolonged exposure to high blood sugar (diabetic neuropathy) usually involves the legs and hands.
• Trauma: Damage to nerves by stretching or cutting from accidents, fractures, or surgeries.
• Spinal Disorders: Herniated discs or spinal stenosis pressing on nerves.
• Shingles (Post-herpetic Neuralgia): Severe pain emanates from nerves when a person has been infected with shingles.
• Chemotherapy & Cancer: Some of the chemotherapeutic agents used for cancer treatment damage nerves, but tumors may also press on them.
• Trapped Nerves: Wrist if carpal tunnel syndrome is involved, lower back/leg if sciatica, pelvis associated with pudendal neuralgia.
• Neurological Conditions: such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson's disease.
• Infections: HIV, syphilis, or Lyme disease.
• Alcoholism and Nutritional Deficiencies:Vitamin Deficiency Vitamin B12 damages the nerves.

Manifesting Symptoms of Nerve Pain

Most people with nerve pain would start to report:-

• Burning pain that doesn't improve with rest.
• Electric shocking staccato shots in arms, legs, or back.
• Pins and needles sensation.
• Radiating pain in penetrating degrees of sensory numbness or hypersensitivity (even light touch feels painful).
• Muscle weakness or poor coordination.
• Pain worsens at night and disturbs sleep.
• Radiating pain (e.g., sciatica running from lower back to leg). Unlike muscle pains, nerve pain doesn't respond, in general, to simple painkillers.

Diagnosis of Nerve Pain

Diagnosis begins at Dr Ekta's Pain Management Clinic, where we listen to your story and understand your symptoms. We then use sophisticated instruments to verify the nature of the cause:-

• Making a medical history and a physical exam to evaluate how the pain started and what aggravates/relieves it.
• Neurological Examination- Observation of Decrease in Sensation, Strength, and Reflexes.
• Conduction Studies (NCS) and Electromyography (EMG)- Measuring How Well Nerves and Muscles Are Working.
• MRI or CT scans provide information on structural causes such as disc problems or tumors.
• Blood tests will identify: diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, or infections.
• Diagnostic nerve blocks- Identify which nerve is responsible for the pain being produced.

Why We Are Different

Treatment Options of Dr Ekta's Pain Management Clinic

In our treatments, we emphasize non-surgical and minimally invasive methods to get relief without the dangers of major surgeries.

Drug Treatment

• Drugs for nerve pain (Gabapentin, Pregabalin, and Duloxetine).
• Topical treatments using lidocaine patches or capsaicin cream.
• Painkillers and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications for limited use.
• Antidepressants at small doses (which also alleviate nerve pain).

Interventional Pain Procedures

• Nerve Blocks: Injections to “turn off” pain signals temporarily.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Use heat to turn off nerve fibers, transporting pain and providing prolonged comfort.
• Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS): A Miniature device that changes the pain signals before reaching the brain.
• Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS): Targeting nerves outside the spinal cord.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: Healing and regenerating nerve tissue using one's own growth factors.
• Stem Cell Therapy (BMAC): Promoting repair of damaged nerves.
• Hydro Dissection: Separating the nerves from adhesions or surrounding scar tissue.

Exercises and Rehabilitation

• Special exercises targeting nerve decompression.
• Stretch posture training alleviates stress on the spine.
• Gait training focusing on patients with diabetic neuropathy or balance issues.

Lifestyle & Supportive Measures

• Dietary changes with vitamin-rich foods and a low-sugar diet for diabetics.
• Stress management through Yoga, meditation, and deep breathing.
• Workplace ergonomics: Proper chair, table, and posture to reduce nerve stress.
• Regular exercises: Walking, swimming, or cycling to promote blood circulation and improve nerve health.

Do's & Don'ts

• Keep your blood sugar under control if you have diabetes.
• Rest from sitting and stretch once in a while.
• Wear comfortable shoes to protect your feet from injuries.
• Drink moderately, or better still, stay off alcohol and cigarette smoking, as they aggravate nerve injury.
