Well, I'll agree. There may not be anything in particular about some tests that require the 'neuro-' label at the front of them.
Actually, I think about it the other way around. ALL TESTS ARE NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL. If you think about it, just about any 'test' (by which I mean a reproducible stimulus eliciting a response) MUST BE a 'neuropsychological test' if it filters through the CNS. About the only thing I can think of that wouldn't be would be a 'knee-tap' test that filters only through at the spinal cord level. A test can even be 'neuropsychological' if, for example, the patient is comatose or vegetative, i.e., 'evoked potentials' tests that probe the pathway of input all the way to the cortex.
What makes a particular test 'neuropsychological' in my view is several factors. At its best, a test is neuropsychological if it is based on a theory of human brain functioning, for example, a model that asserts important domains of functioning include level of arousal, information processing, and planful responding. A test might be constructed to tap one or more of these domains.
Other features I would think are important to label a test 'neuropsychological' might have to do with: its known relationship to brain locations/systems; its known stability or change in response to various CNS conditions, and of course the purpose for which the test is used. The use of the 'neuro' label I think has much more to do with the construction, purpose of administering, and the interpretation of the instrument itself than, necessarily, the test itself.
For example, think of the use of the WAIS-III as a 'neurocognitive' test. Not initially designed for a neuropsych purpose, but when correlated with models of important cognitive domains other than 'g' (look at the 'processing speed index,' for example) with effects in individuals with known brain illness, etc, and when interpreted in these contexts, the USE OF the instrument may become 'neuropsychological.'

To Cure Nerve Damage Naturally
Celery: Celery is one of the most important and effective natural cure and home remedy that can be used for curing pain out of the damaged nerves naturally. Half a cup of celery juice along with carrot juice certainly will help in curing the nerve. In addition, celery juice, along with potato juice helps in naturally curing the pain from nerve damage.
Oat: Oat is another important remedy that may be used this case. An herbal remedy, oat, will be very useful in treating a damaged nerve. Consumption of elderberry juice also helps in the muscles to relax, which may in turn help in easing the pain naturally, caused by the damage of the nerves.
