For many people, the cause of nerve pain cannot be determined even using tests. This is thought to be idiopathic (i.e. unexplained) neuropathic pain.
Other studies have also found that metabolic syndrome diseases such as high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, obesity or prediabetes are also seen in people with neuralgia with no known cause. .
2. Symptoms of idiopathic neuropathic pain
Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy like diabetic neuropathy often causes numbness in the hands and feet. Numbness may go unnoticed if it causes no pain.
Neuralgia in idiopathic peripheral neuropathy is usually in the feet and legs but can also be in the hands and arms. When there is an idiopathic neuropathic pain, there will be many different ways to describe it such as: burning, itching, pins and needles, electric shock. Simple touches can also cause nerve pain, and pain symptoms may not change even in the absence of stimulation. Often, unexplained neuralgia feels worst at night.
