The precise mechanism of spinal cord modulation for neuropathic pain is partially understood. The original ‘control gate theory’ postulated that continual…

Pain that persists after the surgical wound has healed could be the result of somatic nociception, the consequence of ongoing inflammation (e.g. infection, haematoma), a manifestation of neuropathic pain from surgical injury to peripheral nerves (e.g. complex regional pain syndromes, neuralgias)3 , or from visceral nociception. chronic post surgical pain has been defined as “pathological pain that persists for longer than two months post surgery”.
