Four phenotypic groups of patients with diabetic neuropathic pain were found. Intensity, duration of pain, and the level of anxiety were the factors associated with belonging to the groups with worse characteristics. ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction To identify subgroups of patients with diabetic neuropathic pain according to their phenotypic characteristics

Mind the GAPS: Glia associated with psychological stress
Abstract Glial cells are an integral component of the nervous system, performing crucial functions that extend beyond structural support, including modulation of the immune system, tissue repair, and maintaining tissue homeostasis. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of glial cells as key mediators of stress responses across different organs.

Analgesic Effects of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase Inhibition in a Rat Model of Neuropathic Pain [PDF]
Cannabinoid-based medicines have therapeutic potential for the treatment of pain. Augmentation of levels of endocannabinoids with inhibitors of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is analgesic in models of acute and inflammatory pain states.

ABSTRACT Abundant clinical and preclinical evidence demonstrates that sleep and pain have bidirectional interactions. Sleep loss enhances pain perception and pain disrupts sleep. However, the exact neurobiological mechanisms through which sleep loss alters pain remain poorly understood.

Spinal cord stimulation in chronic pain: evidence and theory for mechanisms of action. [PDF]
Well-established in the field of bioelectronic medicine, Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) offers an implantable, non-pharmacologic treatment for patients with intractable chronic pain conditions. Chronic pain is a widely heterogenous syndrome with regard to

Lack of evidence for central sensitization in idiopathic, non-traumatic neck pain : a systematic review [PDF]
Background: Chronic neck pain is a common problem with a poorly understood pathophysiology. Often no underlying structural pathology can be found and radiological imaging findings are more related to age than to a patient's symptoms.

Chemotherapy‐Induced Neuropathy Affecting the Gastrointestinal Tract
Chemotherapy (with/without immunotherapy/radiotherapy) may induce neurotoxic effects on the gastrointestinal innervation. Chemotherapy‐induced enteric neuropathy (CIEN) and, probably, neurotoxicity affecting the extrinsic innervation of the gut and the brain underlie the frequent and impactful gut dysfunctions and brain–gut axis (BGA) disorders ...
