Comparison of Characteristics of Neuropathic and Non-neuropathic Pruritus to Develop a Tool for the Diagnosis of Neuropathic Pruritus: The NP5 [PDF]
The diagnosis of neuropathic pruritus (NP) may be difficult. The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of both neuropathic pruritus and non-neuropathic pruritus (NNP) in order to elaborate a tool to help the diagnosis of NP without ...

Liquid crystal thermography in neuropathic assessment of the diabetic foot. [PDF]
Primary aetiologic factors of diabetic foot disease include peripheral neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease. Assessment of circulation, neuropathy, and foot pressure is employed routinely to determine the risk of foot ulceration in the patient ...

Mechanisms involved in chronic neuropathic pain after avulsion injury [PDF]
PhDMotor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of injuries involving avulsion of spinal roots from the brachial or lumbosacral plexuses. This results in chronic intractable pain that is refractory to pharmacotherapy.

Diagnosing neuropathic pain and distinguishing it from nociceptive pain can be challenging, but is essential because both forms of pain require different treatment strategies. The diagnosis of neuropathic pain is primarily based on clinical findings.

A genome-wide association study suggests an association of Chr8p21.3 (GFRA2) with diabetic neuropathic pain [PDF]
Background: Neuropathic pain, caused by a lesion or a disease affecting the somatosensory system, is one of the most common complications in diabetic patients.

The hypothesis is advanced that the functional urethral obstruction found in neuropathic states is due, in part at least, to urethral supersensitivity following sympathetic decentralisation. A simple postural test for this condition is described. By its use it has been shown that urethral denervation occurs not only in disorders of the central nervous ...

Neuropathic pain is constitutively suppressed in early life by anti-inflammatory neuroimmune regulation. [PDF]
Peripheral nerve injury can trigger neuropathic pain in adults but not in infants; indeed, for unknown reasons, neuropathic pain is rare before adolescence. We show here that the absence of neuropathic pain response in infant male rats and mice following

Neuropathic Pain in the Elderly [PDF]
Neuropathic pain due to a lesion or a disease of the somatosensory system often affects older people presenting several comorbidities. Moreover, elderly patients are often poly-medicated, hospitalized and treated in a nursing home with a growing risk of drug interaction and recurrent hospitalization. Neuropathic pain in the elderly has to be managed by

Transient receptor potential channel polymorphisms are associated with the somatosensory function in neuropathic pain patients. [PDF]
Transient receptor potential channels are important mediators of thermal and mechanical stimuli and play an important role in neuropathic pain. The contribution of hereditary variants in the genes of transient receptor potential channels to neuropathic ...

Neuropathic and Psychogenic Components of Burning Mouth Syndrome: A Systematic Review
The pathophysiology of primary burning mouth syndrome (BMS) has been extensively debated but is poorly understood despite a large number of hypotheses attempting to explain its etiopathogenic mechanisms.
