Two patients presented with side-locked frontal head pain, involving the supraorbital nerve territory, with an associated hypopigmented macule. The clinical progress and nerve biopsy in one indicated leprosy. In endemic regions, supraorbital neuralgia may be caused by leprosy sometimes without other neurocutaneous markers.

Previous case reports hint ultraviolet A1 (UVA1) phototherapy as a novel adjunct treatment for acute cutaneous inflammations and neuralgia of herpes zoster, but its clinical effectiveness and safety in this condition are not yet proven by clinical trials. To determine the efficacy and safety of UVA1 phototherapy as an adjunct treatment for acute inflammation and neuralgia in herpes zoster. A total of 60 patients with moderate-to-severe acute herpes zoster were randomly divided into two parallel groups.

Background: Preliminary studies on epidural motor cortex stimulation (eMCS) for the treatment of drug-resistant neuropathic pain have supported the extension to novel stimulation waveforms, in particular burstDR. However, only a low level of evidence is available. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of burstDR versus tonic eMCS.

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a prevalent and debilitating craniofacial pain disorder characterized by severe, unilateral, shock-like pain. Standard treatments include anti-epileptic drugs and surgical interventions, but many patients experience limited relief or adverse effects. Non-invasive therapies, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), have emerged as alternative options.

Neuropathic pain is a type of pain caused by an injury or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Currently, there is still absence of effective therapeutic drugs for neuropathic pain, so developing new therapeutic drugs is urgently needed. In the present study, we observed the effect of Comp 6d, a novel silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) activator synthesized in our laboratory, on neuropathic pain and investigated the mechanisms involved.
