High prevalence of neuropathic pain in the hand of patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: To describe the pain profile of patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury.

Methods: We enrolled 65 patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury. The Douleur Neuropathique 4 questionnaire was used to classify pain and the SF-36 was used to evaluate quality of life.

Biological markers in noninvasive brain stimulation trials in major depressive disorder: a systematic review.

Objectives: The therapeutic effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation in patients with major depression have shown promising results; however, there is a lack of mechanistic studies using biological markers (BMs) as an outcome. Therefore, our aim was to review noninvasive brain stimulation trials in depression using BMs.

Methods: The following databases were used for our systematic review: MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane, and SCIELO.
