Capsaicin induces degeneration of cutaneous autonomic nerve fibers.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of topical application of capsaicin on cutaneous autonomic nerves. METHODS Thirty-two healthy subjects underwent occlusive application of 0.1% capsaicin cream (or placebo) for 48 hours. Subjects were followed for 6 months with serial assessments of sudomotor, vasomotor, pilomotor, and sensory function with simultaneous assessment of innervation through skin ...

متن کاملAlpha-synuclein in cutaneous small nerve fibers
Despite progression in the development of pharmacological therapy, treatment of alpha synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and some atypical parkinsonism syndromes, is still challenging. To date, our knowledge of the mechanisms whereby the pathological form of alpha-synuclein causes structural and functional damage to the nervous system is limited and, consequently, there is a la...
متن کاملCutaneous nerve terminal degeneration in painful mononeuropathy.
Nociceptive nerves innervate the skin and play an important role in the generation of neuropathic pain. However, it remains elusive whether and how nociceptive nerve terminals degenerate in neuropathic pain conditions. To address this issue, we investigated cutaneous innervation in a model of painful mononeuropathy, the chronic constriction injury (CCI). The hind paws of rats were immunocytoche...
متن کاملIntradermal injection of capsaicin in humans produces degeneration and subsequent reinnervation of epidermal nerve fibers: correlation with sensory function.
The ability of capsaicin to excite and subsequently to desensitize a select group of small sensory neurons has made it a useful tool to study their function. For this reason, application of capsaicin to the skin has been used for a variety of painful syndromes. We examined whether intradermal injection of capsaicin produced morphological changes in cutaneous nerve fibers that would account for ...
