Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

Clinical Features and Outcomes of Acute Intermittent Porphyria Presenting With Acute Quadriparesis: A Case Series and Follow‐Up Study [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction A retrospective case series of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) presenting with acute quadriparesis is described with a focus on patterns of neuropathy and nerve conduction study findings. Methods Six patients with acute polyneuropathy were diagnosed with AIP on the basis of characteristic clinical findings, urine ...

Toll-like receptor signaling adapter proteins govern spread of neuropathic pain and recovery following nerve injury in male mice. [PDF]
BackgroundSpinal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and signaling intermediaries have been implicated in persistent pain states. We examined the roles of two major TLR signaling pathways and selected TLRs in a mononeuropathic allodynia.MethodsL5 spinal nerve ...

Favorable outcome of early treatment of new onset child and adolescent migraine-implications for disease modification. [PDF]
There is evidence that the prevalence of migraine in children and adolescents may be increasing. Current theories of migraine pathophysiology in adults suggest activation of central cortical and brainstem pathways in conjunction with the peripheral ...

Antagonism of the prokineticin system prevents and reverses allodynia and inflammation in a mouse model of diabetes [PDF]
Neuropathic pain is a severe diabetes complication and its treatment is not satisfactory. It is associated with neuroinflammation-related events that participate in pain generation and chronicization. Prokineticins are a new family of chemokines that has

The alternatively spliced fibronectin CS1 isoform regulates IL-17A levels and mechanical allodynia after peripheral nerve injury. [PDF]
BackgroundMechanical pain hypersensitivity associated with physical trauma to peripheral nerve depends on T-helper (Th) cells expressing the algesic cytokine, interleukin (IL)-17A.

Multicenter assessment of quantitative sensory testing (QST) for the detection of neuropathic-like pain responses using the topical capsaicin model [PDF]
Background: The use of quantitative sensory testing (QST) in multicenter studies has been quite limited, due in part to lack of standardized procedures among centers. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the application of the capsaicin pain model

Nociceptive neuropeptide increases and periorbital allodynia in a model of traumatic brain injury. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: This study tests the hypothesis that injury to the somatosensory cortex is associated with periorbital allodynia and increases in nociceptive neuropeptides in the brainstem in a mouse model of controlled cortical impact (CCI) injury.

Frequent mild head injury promotes trigeminal sensitivity concomitant with microglial proliferation, astrocytosis, and increased neuropeptide levels in the trigeminal pain system. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Frequent mild head injuries or concussion along with the presence of headache may contribute to the persistence of concussion symptoms. METHODS: In this study, the acute effects of recovery between mild head injuries and the frequency of ...
