Neuropathic pain Redefinition and a grading system for clinical and research purposes

TL;DR: A grading system of definite, probable, and possible neuropathic pain is proposed, which includes the grade possible, which can only be regarded as a working hypothesis, and the grades probable and definite, which require confirmatory evidence from a neurologic examination.

Fmri-based neurologic signature of physical pain
Tor D. Wager,Martin A. Lindquist +1 more
TL;DR: An fMRI-based measure that predicts pain intensity at the level of the individual person and the strength of the signature response was substantially reduced when remifentanil was administered, suggesting it is possible to use fMRI to assess pain elicited by noxious heat in healthy persons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of neuropathic pain.
TL;DR: This review focuses on how both human studies and animal models are helping to elucidate the mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain, one of the surprisingly common disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neurobiology of itch
TL;DR: Current research concentrates on the identification of common targets for future analgesic and antipruritic therapy, and there is a broad overlap between pain- and itch-related peripheral mediators and/or receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phantom limb pain: a case of maladaptive CNS plasticity?
TL;DR: Evidence for putative pathophysiological mechanisms with an emphasis on central, and in particular cortical, changes is discussed and suggestions for innovative interventions aimed at alleviating phantom pain are derived.

TL;DR: Evaluated trials provide level A evidence for the efficacy of tricyclic antidepressants, gabapentin, pregabalin and opioids, with a large number of class I trials, followed by topical lidocaine and the newer antidepressants venlafaxine and duloxetine.
