TL;DR: Several psychological factors are associated with pain secondary to neurological conditions and should be acknowledged and addressed in order to effectively treat this condition.

TL;DR: Extended peripheral nerve investigation in eight consecutive pRLS patients with normal neurological examination results showed that all patients exhibited two or more electrical, psychophysiological, and/or morphological features of peripheral axonal neuropathy.

TL;DR: Different forms of psychological interventions, including Cognitive—Behavioral Therapy, cognitive or behavioral techniques, Mindfulness, hypnosis, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Brief Interpersonal Therapy, virtual reality interventions, various forms of biofeedback and mirror therapy were found to be effective for pain reduction in pathologies.

TL;DR: Results indicate a preferential action of subanesthetic doses of lidocaine on the hyperactive WDR neurons in rats with a unilateral chronic neuropathy induced by two different peripheral nerve injuries, related to a susceptibility acquired by WDR neuron of the peripherally injured side and is not simply attributable to the increased frequency of firing.

TL;DR: The use of consensus criteria for cognitive and behavioural impairment and the comparison with the LMND group proved useful in defining the spectrum of non-motor manifestations of ALS.
