Presence of hyperalgesia predicts analgesic efficacy of topically applied capsaicin 8% in patients with peripheral neuropathic pain.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inherited erythromelalgia due to mutations in SCN9A: natural history, clinical phenotype and somatosensory profile.

TL;DR: Inherited erythromelalgia, the first human pain syndrome linked to voltage-gated sodium channels, is widely regarded as a genetic model of human pain, and the importance of characterizing the pain phenotype in individuals before undertaking clinical trials is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quality assurance for Quantitative Sensory Testing laboratories: development and validation of an automated evaluation tool for the analysis of declared healthy samples.

TL;DR: Sensitivity and specificity of detecting inclusion errors and reasons for measuring errors were assessed in 431 healthy subjects and 833 patients with neuropathic pain syndromes from the German Research Network on Neuropathic Pain database and underlines the usefulness and validity of a tool for assessing samples of healthy subjects in quality assurance of QST laboratories using the DFNS protocol.
