TL;DR: In migraine pro-inflammatory platelet adhesion to leukocytes occurs during the headache free interval similar to that seen in acute coronary and cerebrovascular syndromes, which may suggest a link between migraine and stroke on a cellular level.

TL;DR: Quantitative sensory testing is a standardized and formalized clinical sensitivity test that entails a cooperation of the person to be examined and is suitable not only for clinical trials but also in practice as a diagnostic method to characterize the function of the somatosensory system.

TL;DR: A large number of patients with joint hypermobility syndrome/Ehlers–Danlos syndrome/JHS/EDS‐HT commonly suffer from pain, and previous studies suggested it shares similar mechanisms with neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia.

TL;DR: A positive correlation between pain relief and increase in the warmth detection threshold (WDT) is hypothesized, indicating loss of C‐fibre function, and higher response rates in patients with preserved C‐ fibrre function or heat hyperalgesia before application.

TL;DR: Empirical and clinical data on the symptomatology of 2100 patients with painful diabetic neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia from a cross-sectional survey are used to describe characteristic epidemiological differences, analyse typical patterns of sensory symptoms in both cohorts and determine whether questionnaires can capture these characteristics.
