Maximizing treatment efficacy through patient stratification in neuropathic pain trials

Ralf Baron et al.

Summary: Despite research advances, treatment of neuropathic pain is still inadequate. Rational stratification of patients and development of outcome measures could improve treatment outcomes, but further research is needed for their application in clinical practice and trials.

Increased peptidergic fibers as a potential cutaneous marker of pain in diabetic small fiber neuropathy

Pall Karlsson et al.

Summary: Painful diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) patients showed increased density of dermal peptidergic fibers in the skin, which correlated with pain ratings. This finding offers new insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms of pain in diabetes and suggests potential new therapeutic targets.

Axonal swellings are related to type 2 diabetes, but not to distal diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy

Pall Karlsson et al.

Summary: In individuals with type 2 diabetes where IENFD is >1.0 fibre/mm, axonal swelling ratio is related to type 2 diabetes but is not related to DSP or painful DSP. Axonal swellings may be an early marker of sensory nerve injury in type 2 diabetes.

The serotonin receptor 2A (HTR2A) rs6313 variant is associated with higher ongoing pain and signs of central sensitization in neuropathic pain patients

Juliane Sachau et al.

Summary: The study revealed an association of the HTR2A gene variant rs6313 with pinprick hyperalgesia and increased levels of ongoing pain in neuropathic pain patients with sensory loss. This suggests that the HTR2A receptor may play a crucial role in the development of central sensitization in neuropathic pain.

Brain imaging signature of neuropathic pain phenotypes in small-fiber neuropathy: altered thalamic connectome and its associations with skin nerve degeneration

Chi-Chao Chao et al.

Summary: Patients with SFN showed reduced white matter connectivity with pain-related brain areas, with the degree of skin nerve degeneration correlated with different neuropathic pain phenotypes. Despite altered connectivity, there was no change in white matter integrity as assessed by fractional anisotropy. Our findings suggest that changes in structural connectivity may serve as a biomarker of maladaptive brain plasticity contributing to neuropathic pain following peripheral nerve degeneration.

Diagnosing small fiber neuropathy in clinical practice: a deep phenotyping study

Nadine Egenolf et al.

Summary: This case-control study suggests that the diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy (SFN) in patients with pain of uncertain origin can be primarily based on the results of neurological examination and distal intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD), with further detailed phenotyping recommended in specialized centers. Abnormal distal IENFD and neurological examination were the most common indicators of small fiber disease, with additional tests like corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) and pain-related evoked potentials (PREP) increasing the number of patients with small fiber impairment. Genetic testing revealed potentially pathogenic gene variants in a subset of the index patients.
