ABSTRACT
Neuropathic pain can be caused by multiple factors, and its prevalence can reach 10% of the global population. It is becoming increasingly evident that limited or short-lasting response to treatments for neuropathic pain is associated with psychological factors, which include psychiatric comorbidities known to affect quality of life. It is estimated that 60% of patients with neuropathic pain also experience depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Altered mood, including stress, can be a consequence of several painful conditions but can also favor pain chronicization when preexisting. Despite the apparent tight connection between clinical pain and mood/stress disorders, the exact physiological mechanisms remain unclear. This review aims to provide an overview of state-of-the-art research on the mechanisms of pain related to the pathophysiology of depression, anxiety, and stress disorders.
