Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Inborn errors of immunity in children with neuroinflammation

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), an expanding group of monogenic disorders with diverse clinical manifestations, are increasingly recognized to include neuroinflammatory disease. Examples of diseases included under this umbrella are Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2, familial haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis ...

Genetic testing in paediatric neurological disorders

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
In this study 390 paediatric patients with neurological disorders underwent genetic testing via exome sequencing, commercial panel, in‐house epilepsy, and movement disorder gene panels. Exome sequencing provides the highest diagnostic yield, and severe developmental delay and hypotonia predicted pathogenic variants in the exome sequencing cohort ...

Treatment Approaches for Atypical CIDP

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
The variants of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) differ not just in their clinical, pathological and electrophysiological characteristics, but often in their indifferent response to conventional immunosuppressive agents which are ...

Multifocal Motor Neuropathy [PDF]

Practical Neurology, 2002
INTRODUCTION During the 1980s, patients were reported with a slowly evolving asymmetrical motor syndrome, often initially affecting the distal upper limbs. These patients were viewed as distinct from either spinal muscular atrophy or more typical chronic inflammatory neuropathies by the presence on clinical electrophysiological testing of very focal ...

Prevalence and Disability of Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients With Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is considered a frequent complication of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM). Establishing a causal relationship between PN and WM is complicated by confounding factors such as age‐related axonal loss and diabetes. This scoping review aims to summarize the current evidence on WM‐associated PN with a focus

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy and multifocal motor neuropathy: treatment update

, 2010
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal motor neuropathy usually respond to immune therapies including steroids and plasma exchange for CIDP and high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIgs) for ...
