Answer:

sensation and paresthesia

Step-by-step explanation:

Sensation and paresthesia are the terms that would indicate a patient is suffering from neuropathic pain. Sensation is concrete, conscious experience resulting from stimulation of a specific sense organ or sensory nerve, or in the brain of an individual. Paresthesia is a type of abnormal sensation of the skin (tingling, chilling and burning etc) without any apparent physical cause in the body.
