Botulinum Toxin Treatment of Neuropathic Pain.
Neuropathic pain (NP), a common form of human pain, often poorly responds to analgesic medications. In this review the authors discuss the pathophysiology and conventional treatment of neuropathic pain and provide evidenced-based statements on the efficacy of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) in this form of pain. The level of efficacy for BoNT treatment in each category of NP is defined according ...
متن کاملEpineurial peptides: a role in neuropathic pain?
Neuropathic pain is not well understood. Although central dorsal horn remodelling is likely important in maintaining chronic neuropathic pain, afferent activity from injured nerves or ganglia may initiate these changes. It is suggested, in this review that the peripheral nerve trunk is capable of sustaining a "flare" response as observed in injured skin and other tissues. The injury response ma...
متن کاملACUPUNCTURE AND NEUROPATHIC PAIN About neuropathic pain
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 کاملBotulinum Toxin for the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain
Botulinum toxin (BoNT) has been used as a treatment for excessive muscle stiffness, spasticity, and dystonia. BoNT for approximately 40 years, and has recently been used to treat various types of neuropathic pain. The mechanism by which BoNT acts on neuropathic pain involves inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators and peripheral neurotransmitters from sensory nerves. Recent journals ha...
متن کاملBotulinum Toxin for Neuropathic Pain: A Review of the Literature
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), derived from Clostridium botulinum, has been used therapeutically for focal dystonia, spasticity, and chronic migraine. Its spectrum as a potential treatment for neuropathic pain has grown. Recent opinions on the mechanism behind the antinociceptive effects of BoNT suggest that it inhibits the release of peripheral neurotransmitters and inflammatory mediators from s...
