Effective preoperative communication and an awareness of the mechanisms and treatment of neurogenic pain by nursing staff directly influence the choice of intraoperative and postoperative pain management. This article describes the case study of a young woman with neurogenic pain and highlights the importance of having a working knowledge of this type of pain, its assessment, and treatment.

Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a debilitating chronic condition characterized by pelvic pain and urinary disturbances, making its diagnosis challenging due to overlapping symptoms with various lower urinary tract disorders. Current diagnostic methods primarily rely on subjective evaluations, leading to significant difficulties in accurately identifying and managing IC/BPS. This review explores the potential of clustering different disease biomarkers to enhance diagnostic precision for IC/BPS.

Migraine affects women three times more often than it does men, and various mechanisms may explain this incidence, including the key role of female sex hormones. Fluctuations in the levels of these hormones and their feedback control regulate the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, puerperium, perimenopause, and menopause. They can influence the occurrence and severity of migraine throughout the reproductive period.

Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a common condition caused by the narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in compression of neural and vascular structures. This compression leads to symptoms such as claudication, paresthesia, and lower extremity weakness. LSS is the leading cause of low back pain and functional limitations, affecting over 103 million people worldwide.

Sensory neurons play an essential role in recognizing and responding to detrimental, irritating, and inflammatory stimuli from our surroundings, such as pain, itch, cough, and neurogenic inflammation. The transduction of these physiological signals is chiefly mediated by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels. The binding of ligands to GPCRs triggers a signaling cascade, recruiting G proteins or β-arrestins, which subsequently interact with ion channels (e.

Symptomatic median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is considered to be a diagnosis of exclusion, and there is no consensus about its diagnostic criteria. We present the case of a 39-year-old woman, who presented with persistent epigastric pain. A computed tomography scan did not show external celiac artery (CA) stenosis.
