What is the medical term meaning destruction of a nerve? Neurolysis is destruction of a nerve or nervous tissue. Neuropathy, in contrast, means any disease of a nerve or nerve tissue.
Neuralgia is the definitive term for nerve pain. Words ending in -algia indicate pain. A closely related word is neuropathy. It indicates an injury, disease, deterioration, defect or other abnormality of the nerve, which usually produces pain, possibly stabbing, burning, or tingling in character. The two words are close but not interchangeable; still, many people substitute one for the other.
