Burning pain - causalgia

Japanese: 灼熱痛 - しゃくねつつう（英語表記）causalgia

Also called causalgia. A peculiar burning pain caused by damage to the peripheral nerve trunks. It is not caused by a burn. It is likely to occur when partial damage occurs to the nerve trunks due to trauma to the limbs, and is accompanied by a series of autonomic nervous system disorders such as abnormalities in circulation, sweating, and bone tissue, but there are many unknowns about the mechanism. Mental excitement can also be a trigger. The first case was reported in 1872 as a result of battle injuries during the Civil War, but recently there has been an increase in cases caused by traffic injuries.

カウザルギーともいう。末梢神経幹の損傷などによって起る特異な焼かれるような痛み。やけどによるものではない。四肢の外傷によって神経幹に部分的損傷が生じたときなどに起りやすいもので，循環，発汗，骨組織の異常など一連の自律神経障害を伴うが，その機序に関しては不明の点が少くない。精神的興奮も誘因になる。 1872年に，南北戦争における戦傷の際の例が初めて報告されたが，最近は交通外傷が原因となって起る例がふえている。
