TL;DR: A positive effect of recombinant human nerve growth factor on neuropathic pain and pin sensitivity in HIV-associated sensory neuropathy was found and rhNGF was safe and well tolerated, but injection site pain was frequent.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Neither amitriptyline nor mexiletine provide significant pain relief in patients with HIV-associated painful sensory neuropathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical Treatment of Migraine Headaches
TL;DR: This prospective study was conducted to investigate the role of removal of corrugator supercilii muscles, transection of the zygomaticotemporal branch of the trigeminal nerve, and temple soft-tissue repositioning in the treatment of migraine headaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus ascending myelitis in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
TL;DR: The absence of an inflammatory response suggests that the pathogenesis of CNS viral infections is altered in AIDS patients, and evidence for CMV infection of the CNS inAIDS patients is no longer circumstantial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term treatment with recombinant nerve growth factor for HIV-associated sensory neuropathy
Giovanni Schifitto,Constantin T. Yiannoutsos,David M. Simpson,Bruce T. Adornato,Elyse J. Singer,Harry Hollander,Camillo Marra,Michael Rubin,Bruce A. Cohen,Tarvez Tucker,Igor J. Koralnik,David Katzenstein,B. Haidich,Mary E. Smith,S. Shriver,Linda Millar,David B. Clifford,Justin C. McArthur +17 more
TL;DR: The authors investigated the long-term effect of the neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) in an open-label study of 200 subjects with HIV-associated DSP and showed that NGF was safe and well tolerated and significantly improved pain symptoms.
