Purpose: Gabapentinoids are mainly prescribed for neuropathic pain and certain seizure disorders, but their off-label use has increased significantly. This rise raises concerns about the insufficient evidence supporting some applications, as well as potential risks of misuse, dependence, and adverse effects. The study aims to examine the prescribing patterns and off-label use of gabapentinoids at Dhulikhel Hospital (DH), Nepal, focusing on understanding the extent of off-label practices and patient knowledge regarding their medications.

Our understanding of how sex and age influence chronic pain at the molecular level is still limited with wide-reaching consequences for adolescent patients. Here, we leveraged deep proteome profiling of mouse dorsal root ganglia (DRG) from adolescent (4-week-old) and adult (12-week-old) male and female mice to investigate the establishment of neuropathic pain in the spared nerve injury (SNI)-model in parallel. We quantified over 12,000 proteins, including notable ion channels involved in pain, highlighting the sensitivity of our approach.

Background: High-voltage (65 V) long-duration pulsed radiofrequency (HL-PRF) is an effective method for managing zoster-associated pain (ZAP), though the limited efficacy of and high recurrence rates associated with the procedure present concerns.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a higher-voltage HL-PRF treatment based on the original procedure for ZAP in the spinal area.
Study Design: A prospective, randomized, controlled trial.

Purpose: The purpose of this review is to present current scientific reports on the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN).
Views: The condition is caused by a mutation in the PANK2 gene, which results in iron accumulation in the brain and changes in the functioning of biochemical pathways dependent on coenzyme A. There are two clinical types of PKAN, which differ in the time of onset of symptoms and speed of disease progression.
