A spinal cord injury is an example of an injury that leads to central neuropathic pain; the central nervous system is comprised of the brain and the spinal cord.
Lacerations and broken, fractured bones are examples of nociecetive pain and a herniated spinal disc can lead to radicular pain.
Stab wound can result in acute, not chronic, pain; and peripheral neuropathic pain can result from carpal tunnel syndrome and post amputation phantom pain.
