Neuralgia tends to occur in isolated episodes. In some cases it is triggered by a minor external stimulus such as a light touch to the area supplied by the nerve.

Neuralgic pain is felt in the area from which the affected nerve would normally convey pain impulses. So if a nerve that carries sensory information from the skin is damaged where it joins the spinal cord, pain will be felt in the skin, not at the site of the injury.
