Neuropathic pain, or nerve pain, results from a disorder in the nervous system, specifically the peripheral or central somatosensory portion. Knee replacement surgery is a common treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA), with one of the main motives for the surgery being nerve pain reduction associated with the condition.[3]
