Impact of Neuropathic Pain on Health-Related Quality of Life and Disability in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain [PDF]
Objective:Low back pain (LBP) is the most common chronic pain disorder worldwide. Chronic LBP is a mixed pain syndrome associated with nociceptive and neuropathic pain mechanisms.

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

VlPAG/DRN Microglia Drive Neuropathic Pain-Induced Depression via a Defined Neuroimmune Axis. [PDF]
Peripheral nerve injury (SNI) induces neuropathic pain, activates midbrain microglia, and triggers an NLRP3–IL‐1β–dependent inflammatory cascade. IL‐1β signals through IL‐1R1 on vlPAG/DRN VGLUT2+ neurons (vlPAG/DRNGlu), inducing hyperexcitability and driving the vlPAG/DRNGlu→BNSTGABA circuit to produce the affective component of neuropathic pain ...

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.

ZBTB18 Dysfunction Promotes Neuropathic Pain via CHD4-based Epigenetic Disinhibition of CLIC1 Channels in Sensory Neurons. [PDF]
In this study, we identify a novel functional role of ZBTB18 in regulating trigeminal‐mediated neuropathic pain. Nerve injury reduces ZBTB18 in trigeminal ganglion neurons, impairing CHD4/NuRD recruitment and de‐repressing Clic1. Elevated CLIC1 enhances chloride channel activity and neuronal hyperexcitability, thereby driving pain.

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 ...

AbstractBackground and purpose: Neuropathic pain (NP) is often refractory to pharmacologic and non-interventional treatment. Neuropathic pain can be distinguished from non-neuropathic pain by two factors. In neuropathic pain there is no transduction (conversion of a nociceptive stimulus into an electrical impulse).

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
