Microglial activation is linked to neuroinflammation in neuropathic pain. Recently, microglia-mediated synaptic pruning has received mounting attention. However, the exact role of spinal microglia in modulating neuropathic pain-associated neural circ...
BACKGROUND: Neuralgia and other neuropathic pain are difficult to treat owing to their complicated etiology and a wide variety of responses to treatment. The novel neuromodulation technology transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) has intriguing impli...
BACKGROUND: Neuropathic pain (NP) can be induced by a variety of clinical conditions, such as spinal cord injury, lumbar disc herniation (LDH), lumbar spinal stenosis, diabetes, herpes zoster, and spinal cord tumors, and inflammatory stimuli. The pat...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to central neuropathic pain, a condition associated with significant morbidity and is challenging in terms of the clinical management. Despite extensive efforts, identifying effective biomarkers for neuropathic pa...
PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare subbasal corneal nerve parameters of the inferior whorl in patients with dry eye disease (DED), neuropathic corneal pain (NCP), and controls using a novel deep-learning-based algorithm to analyze in-vivo confocal micr...
Advances in neuroimaging have permitted the non-invasive examination of the human brain in pain. However, a persisting challenge is in the objective differentiation of neuropathic facial pain subtypes, as diagnosis is based on patients' symptom descr...
INTRODUCTION: Chronic inguinal pain or inguinodynia following hernioplasty is a relatively common complication that can be very incapacitating. Surgical treatment by triple neurectomy is a therapeutic option when previous treatments (oral/local thera...

OBJECTIVES: To confirm and extend previous results involving repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) aimed at alleviating refractory central neuropathic pain (CNP). To evaluate pain relief in detail and to assess ongoing benefits after on...
Thalamocortical dysrhythmia (TCD) is a model proposed to explain divergent neurological disorders. It is characterized by a common oscillatory pattern in which resting-state alpha activity is replaced by cross-frequency coupling of low- and high-freq...
