Some Pain Improvement With High-Frequency Spinal Cord Stimulation After Conventional Treatment Fails
Investigators assessed the efficacy of 10-kHz high-frequency devices as a rescue treatment in patients with failed conventional spinal cord stimulation therapy for chronic pain without needing to change the spinal hardware.
Risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Patients With Epilepsy, Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction
Abnormal cardiac autonomic response to sympathetic stimulation by hyperventilation may influence mortality in patients with epilepsy.
Brain and Pain Traits Help Stratify Patients With Diabetic Painful Neuropathy
This study compared differences in functional connectivity in nociceptive processing brain regions between irritable/nonirritable phenotypes in painful diabetic neuropathy.
Traumatic Brain Injury Increases Risk for Future Stroke
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an independent risk factor for stroke.
The PD-PCS: A New Approach to Classifying Pain in Patients With Parkinson Disease
Researchers developed a framework to differentiate PD- from non-PD-related pain and classify PD-related pain into 3 groups — nociceptive, neuropathic, or nociplastic.
Study Identifies Sex Differences in Functional Organization of the Brain in Chronic Pain
The main goal of this study was to characterize sex differences and abnormalities in the functional segregation and integration of the whole-brain network architecture associated with chronic pain.
Cross-Sectional Area Reference Values for Peripheral Nerve Ultrasounds
To help standardize peripheral nerve ultrasound protocols, study investigators pooled reference cross-sectional area values of lower extremity nerves.
Guideline-Noncompliant Opioids Prescribed for Many With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
The researchers’ goal was to promote safe and evidence-based pain management by examining the initiation of pain medication among adults with newly diagnosed diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Phenotypic Stratification of Patients With Painful Neuropathy May Predict Response to Therapy
The researchers’ objective was to compare the classification of patients with that reported in a recent study by identifying 3 clusters of patients with different sensory profiles.
