Pain Management Research

KEY FINDING: Gabapentin and pregabalin are effective for managing chronic neuropathic pain post-SCI, with pregabalin also potentially reducing anxiety and sleep disturbances. Lamotrigine, valproate, and carbamazepine were found ineffective.

KEY FINDING: Participants showed a significant decrease in NRS ratings of average pain collected prior to and following the intervention.

KEY FINDING: Remote Spring Forest Qigong is feasible for adults with SCI-related neuropathic pain, with high adherence and no study-related adverse events.

KEY FINDING: The final pain self-management framework consists of 56 interventions, encompassing medical, psychological, therapeutic, and social approaches.

KEY FINDING: Both real iTBS and real rTMS significantly reduced pain compared to the sham rTMS group, according to all pain evaluation tools used.

KEY FINDING: There is a concern among specialists about managing pain caused by BoNT-A injections in children.

KEY FINDING: Paralympic athletes reported significantly greater neuropathic pain intensity than recreational athletes.

KEY FINDING: KHES significantly alleviated mechanical and thermal allodynia in neuropathic pain mice, demonstrating its potential as a treatment.

KEY FINDING: A single injection of the TCF significantly reduced mechanical allodynia (pain from normally non-painful stimuli) for up to four weeks in SNI rats.

KEY FINDING: Exercise training reversed mechanical and cold allodynia and improved pain-related gait behaviors in an SNI-induced neuropathic pain mice model.
