Chasing map plasticity in neuropathic pain.
OBJECTIVE Recently, somatosensory cortex stimulation has been proposed as a possible treatment for neuropathic deafferentation pain, based on a simple 4-step concept: (1) pain is associated with increased activity in the somatosensory cortex, (2) allodynia-evoked blood-oxygen-level dependence functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activation depicts the area involved in the pain, (3) if f...

Neuropathic pain results from damage to, or dysfunction of, the system that normally signals pain. The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP 2007) defines neuropathic pain as follows: ‘Pain initiated or caused by a primary lesion or dysfunction in the nervous system. Peripheral neuropathic pain occurs when the lesion or dysfunction affects the peripheral nervous system. Central ...
متن کاملNeuropathic pain
Neuropathic pain (NP) is defined as ''pain arising as a direct consequence of any lesion or disease affecting the somatosensory system. " [1,2] Although NP may be an idiopathic process reflecting abnormal sensory processing in the peripheral or central nervous system, it more often appears following physical insult or disease affecting the peripheral or central nervous system. It is likely that...
متن کاملNeuropathic pain in children.
Neuropathic pain (NP), due to a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system, is not well documented or researched in children. NP is a clinical diagnosis that can be difficult, especially in younger children. Nevertheless, it is important to recognise NP, as pain mechanisms and consequently management and prognosis differ from other types of long-term pain. NP is common in adult pain ...
