Treatment-induced neuropathy of diabetes (TIND): a hidden complication in diabetes management.

Treatment-induced neuropathy of diabetes (TIND) is an under-recognised complication that arises after rapid glycaemic control in diabetic pa … nostic workup revealed peripheral nerve and autonomic dysfunction. Symptomatic treatment, including pregabalin and intravenous fluids, led to symptom resolution. This case highlights the importance of recognising TIND in patients with rapid glycaemic control to prevent unnecessary interventions. Awareness and appropriate management, including gradual glycaem …

Capsaicin in the Management of Peripheral Neuropathy: A Review.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the efficacy and safety of capsaicin in the treatment of neuropathic pain. RECENT FINDINGS: Capsaicin can provide prolonged relief from pain in various neuropathies. One proposed mechanism is the ability to cause degeneration of hypersensitized nerve tissue and incite regeneration of healthy nerve fibers. Capsaicin provides more significant relief than placebo and is non-inferior to pregabalin in the treatment of peripheral neuropathy. It is emerging as an alternative but effective and well-tolerated treatment for neurop…

Подкожный ботулинумитоксин типа А для лечения сердечно-сосудистой боли у пациента с множественным склерозом.

СПРАВОЧНАЯ ИНФОРМАЦИЯ: Нейропическая боль - это обычное, но трудное в обращении состояние, затрагивающее качество жизни многих людей. Он распространен среди пациентов с множественным склерозом (MS), аутоиммунным хроническим воспалительным заболеванием центральной нервной системы. Такие методы лечения, как габапентин, догабалин, трициклические антидепрессанты, серотонин и ингибиторы повторного подъема норепинефрина, являются недостаточными. В результате, ботулинум нейротоксин типа А (BONT-A) был изучен на предмет его воздействия на обезболивающие средства с нейропатической болью. Мы представляе

BACKGROUND: Neuropathic pain is a common, but difficult-to-treat, condition affecting the quality of life of many. It is prevalent in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. Treatments, such as gabapentin, pregabalin, tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin, and norepinephrine reuptake inh…

Pain-like behavior in mice can be induced by the environmental context in which the pain stimulus was previously given.

It has been known for decades that classical conditioning influences pain perception. However, the precise mechanism of pain modified by con … ks. Furthermore, the conditioned nociceptive response was reduced by fentanyl but not by ibuprofen, pregabalin or fluvoxamine. This method may be useful for studying the mechanisms of irritable chronic pain and for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Successful treatment of complex regional pain syndrome type 1 of upper limb with cryoneurolysis of the stellate ganglion: A rare case report.

Complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS I) is a multifactorial condition that is related to neural damage, and leads to chronic neuropathic pain. Due to its multifactorial nature, there are many methods that have been recruited for its management. Most of them limit the symptoms to some degree, but the most effective of them so far seems to be blockade of the sympathetic innervation of the region. We present the case of a 71-year-old woman, with an upper limb fracture which was treated conservatively, and later on developed CRPS type I. Analgesic medications and pregabalin were ineffective…

Update on Treatment Guideline in Fibromyalgia Syndrome with Focus on Pharmacology.

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic condition with unknown aetiology. The pathophysiology of the disease is incompletely understood; de … to FMS, but offer varying advice with regards to the use of pharmacological agents. Amitriptyline, Pregabalin and Duloxetine are used most commonly in FMS and though modestly effective, are useful adjunctive treatment to non-pharmaceutical measures.

Depending on symptom severity, patient preference and availability, both medication and CBT can be applied as monotherapy or in combination.

Effects of naringenin on allodynia and hyperalgesia in rats with chronic constriction injury-induced neuropathic pain.

OBJECTIVE: To study the analgesic effects of naringenin on chronic constriction injury (CCI) model of neuropathic pain. METHODS: After inducing of neuropathic pain by CCI, treatment with 25 and 50 mg/kg of naringenin and 10 mg/kg of pregabalin was given. Rats were evaluated for behavioral tests using Hargreaves apparatus for thermal hyperalgesia, pin prick test for tactile mechanical hyperalgesia and cold water-induced allodynia on days 0, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21. At the end of study, oxidative stress parameters were measured. RESULTS: Naringenin showed ameliorating action against CCI-induced neu…

Refractory status epilepticus.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) has a high morbidity and mortality. There are currently no definitive data to guide b … samide as an add-on treatment, the use of combination antiepileptics (phenytoin, levetiracetam, and pregabalin), and surgical treatments (vagal nerve and deep brain stimulation) for the control of RSE. SUMMARY: A number of different therapeutic options are available for the treatment of RSE but none have been shown to be superior to others at this point.

Safe physiotherapy interventions in large cervical disc herniations.

A 34-year-old woman was seen in a physiotherapy department with signs and symptoms of cervical radiculopathy. Loss of cervical lordosis and a large paracentral to intraforaminal disc prolapse (8 mm) at C5-C6 level was reported on MRI. She was taking diclofenac sodium, tramadol HCl, diazepam and pregabalin for the preceding 2 months and no significant improvement, except temporary relief, was reported. She was referred to physiotherapy while awaiting a surgical opinion from a neurosurgeon. In physiotherapy she was treated with mobilisation of the upper thoracic spine from C7 to T6…

Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol as an oromucosal spray in a 1:1 ratio: a therapeutic option for patients with central post-stroke pain syndrome?

Central pain after stroke due to brainstem infarction is very rare. Treatment is difficult and specific guidelines are lacking. This is the report of a 61-year-old female patient who, after a posterolateral left medulla oblongata insult with incomplete Wallenberg syndrome, subsequently developed a burning and tingling pain in the contralateral leg and a burning and shooting pain in the ipsilateral face in trigeminal branches 1 and 2. More than 3 years of therapy with amitriptyline, gabapentin, pregabalin and various grade II and III opioids was ineffective or showed intolerable side effects. T…

Suspected phenobarbital-induced fever in a cat.

CASE SUMMARY: A 3-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat developed a fever 1 week after starting the anticonvulsant phenobarbital. A diagnostic work-up for seizures and subsequent onset of fever of unknown origin, consisting of MRI of the brain, cerebrospinal fluid analysis and infectious disease testing, was unremarkable. The cat was switched from phenobarbital onto pregabalin with complete resolution of the fever within 24 h, consistent with a drug-induced fever following phenobarbital administration. RELEVANCE AND NOVEL INFORMATION: While anticonvulsant hypersensitivities have been …

Fibromyalgia: Treating Pain in the Juvenile Patient.

Presently, evidence for the efficacy of medications for the treatment of juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome (JFMS) is limited. While there are medications approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (duloxetine, milnacipran and pregabalin) for adults with fibromyalgia syndrome, there are none for the treatment of JFMS. A variety of medications have been prescribed for the treatment of JFMS, including (but not limited to) non-opioid analgesics, opioids, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and muscle relaxants. Psychological therapies, most prominently cognitive behavioral therapy, are the most ev…
