ABSTRACT
Central pain is a common consequence of diverse neurological diseases, such as Stroke, Multiple
Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. This review article focuses on the pathophysiology of central
pain in these diseases as well as its management. The physiology of pain is briefly reviewed
followed by a discussion of the physiopathology of post-stroke central pain and its pharmacological
and non-pharmacological management. Subsequently, the article reviews and compares central
pain caused by multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease regarding pathophysiology, clinical
manifestations and treatment. In addition, new pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic strategies
for the treatment of central pain caused by these diseases are described, such as deep brain
stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation.
