Chronic non-freezing cold injury results in neuropathic pain due to a sensory neuropathy

Non-freezing cold injury develops after sustained exposure to cold temperatures, resulting in tissue cooling but not freezing. This can result in persistent sensory disturbance of the hands and feet including numbness, paraesthesia and chronic pain. Both vascular and neurological aetiologies of this pain have been suggested but remain unproven. We prospectively approached patients referred for ...

Cold still kills: cold-related illnesses in military practice freezing and non-freezing cold injury.

Non-freezing cold injury: a multi-faceted syndrome.

We read the paper “Chronic non-freezing cold injury results in neuropathic pain due to a sensory neuropathy” by Vale and colleagues recently published in Brain with great interest. Despite the impact non-freezing cold injury (NFCI) can have on an individual’s quality of life, little research has been conducted on this condition. Indeed, in the last 10 years only 16 full papers have been publish...

P 15: Forced Exercise Attenuates Neuropathic Pain in Chronic Constriction Injury Male Rat: An Approach to Oxidative Stress and Inflammation

Introduction: Peripheral and central nerve injuries cause chronic neuropathic pain in many injured people besides motor disability. Exercise, as a behavioral and non-pharmacological treatment, has beneficial effects on people’s general health both for healthy and sick people. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the effects of exercise on neuropathic pain induced by chronic cons...

Sensory pain qualities in neuropathic pain.

UNLABELLED The qualities of chronic neuropathic pain (NeP) may be informative about the different mechanisms of pain. We previously developed a 2-factor model of NeP that described an underlying structure among sensory descriptors on the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire. The goal of this study was to confirm the correlated 2-factor model of NeP. Individual descriptive scores from the Short-...
