A disease, the chief symptom of which is a very acute pain, exacerbating or intermitting, which follows the course of a nervous branch, extends to its ramifications, and seems therefore to be seated in the nerve. It seems to be independent of any structural lesion. --Dunglison. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: neuralgia n : acute spasmodic pain along the course of one or more nerves [syn: {neuralgy}]
