Pain associated with neurological occupational diseases
- Neurologická klinika, FZS Univerzity Pardubice a PKN Pardubice
Many neurologic diseases are associated with occurence of pain of various intensity and various localizations. There is not only nociceptive pain, developed in tissue damage, but also neuropathic pain, peripheral and central. In neurologic occupational diseases pain is a characteristic and frequent feature. Low back pain as an occupational disease is charaterized not only as radicular pain but also as nociceptive pain. In neuropathies and entrapment syndromes neuropathic pain prevailes, often with other sensory symptoms. Focal dystonias are associated with pain irradiated from muscles and other vertebral and articular structures. Inflammatory occupational diseases are accompanied by various types of pain, including neuropathic pain.
Keywords: nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain, low back pain, focal dystonia, carpal tunnel syndrome.
