Explanation
Choices A and D are correct. Neuropathic pain describes constant inflammation or irritation of nerve cells that causes pain sensation due to oversensitive nerve cells and a decrease in opioid receptors. Examples of neuropathic pain sources include CNS lesions, stroke, tumor, multiple sclerosis, sciatica, shingles, and phantom limb pain.
Choices B, C, and E are incorrect. Nociceptive pain is typically predictable and temporary based on the injury. Examples of nociceptive pain sources include kidney stones, menstrual cramps, muscle strain, venipuncture, and arthritic joints.
