Background:
Neuropathic pain is a complex chronic condition resulting from the damage or dysfunction of the nervous system. Conventional therapies offer limited success and often come with various adverse effects. Therefore, the exploration of alternative therapies, such as phytoconstituents, may be of substantial interest for their potential to alleviate neuropathic pain.
Objectives:
This review systematically examines the diverse roles and mechanisms of various phytoconstituents in modulating neuropathic pain. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of phytoconstituents in neuropathic pain is carried out to understand their mechanism in preventing the disease.
Methods:
The current search is done in the databases of Google Scholar, PubMed Central, ScienceDirect, and Scopus using the keywords: neuropathic pain, phytoconstituents as analgesics, physiological effects of medicinal plants, and natural products, to find the most relevant articles of the last 10 years.
Results:
Out of 125 articles, 112 were included in this study, which revealed that several phytoconstituents inhibit several biomarkers responsible for neuropathic pain. Moreover, this review highlights the underlying molecular pathways and targets through which these bioactive compounds exert their therapeutic effects, emphasizing their potential as novel pharmacological agents.
Conclusion:
This study concludes that phytoconstituents may possess potential applications in managing neuropathic pain and could be effectively used as an alternative approach to mitigate the condition with enhanced risk of safety and tolerability.
