    Glossary Neurogenic Inflammation

    inflammation triggered by nerve-released chemicals causing redness and pain

    Neurogenic inflammation is a type of inflammation triggered by the nervous system. It occurs when nerve fibers release certain chemicals, like substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which cause blood vessels to expand and immune cells to become activated, leading to redness, swelling, and pain. This process is often involved in conditions like migraines, asthma, and some skin disorders.
