neurogenic
Arising from nerves
Neurogenic means originating in or caused by the nervous system.
A neurogenic bladder results from nerve damage affecting bladder control.
Neurogenic pain arises from nerve dysfunction rather than tissue injury.
The term appears in medical contexts to distinguish conditions with neural origins from those caused by muscle, bone, or other systems.
