Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of the Occipital Cortex in Medication Overuse Headache: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Cross-Over Study.

Medication overuse headache (MOH) is a chronic pain syndrome that arises from the frequent use of acute antimigraine drugs. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique with a possible therapeutic effect in this particular context.

Scrambler therapy improves pain in neuromyelitis optica: A randomized controlled trial.

To determine whether Scrambler therapy is an effective, acceptable, and feasible treatment of persistent central neuropathic pain in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and to explore the effect of Scrambler therapy on co-occurring symptoms.

Polyneuropathy is inadequately treated despite increasing symptom intensity in individuals with and without diabetes (PROTECT follow-up study).

Despite its major clinical impact, distal symmetric polyneuropathy remains frequently undiagnosed and undertreated in clinical practice. We previously reported in the PROTECT Study that 70% of type 2 diabetes patients with distal symmetric polyneuropathy were unaware of having the latter condition.

Neuropathic pain after thoracotomy: tracking signs and symptoms before and at monthly intervals following surgery.

Because the development of neuropathic symptoms contributes to pain severity and chronification after surgery, their early prediction is important to allow targeted treatment.

Functional and anatomical brain connectivity in psoriasis patients and healthy controls: A pilot brain imaging study after exposure to mentally-induced itch.

Despite the prevalence of psoriasis, the processing of itch in psoriasis and its impact on the central nervous system (CNS) remain unclear.

Pressure Pain Tolerance Predicts the Success of Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy in Patients with Fibromyalgia.

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) may help predict treatment responses in individuals with chronic pain. Our objective was to determine if evoked pain sensitivity at baseline predicted preferential treatment responses to either emotional awareness and expression therapy (EAET) or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in individuals with fibromyalgia.

Triptan and ergotamine overdoses in the United States: Analysis of the National Poison Data System.

To examine the clinical outcomes of intentional overdoses involving triptans and ergotamines with a retrospective review of the National Poison Data System (NPDS).

Cognitive aging in migraine sufferers is associated with more subjective complaints but similar age-related decline: a 5-year longitudinal study.

The effect of headache on cognitive performance is controversial, due to conflicting results obtained from studies in clinical or population settings. We aimed to understand if migraine and other headaches modify the rates of decline on different cognitive measures, during a 5-year interval.

Real-life data on the efficacy and safety of erenumab in the Abruzzo region, central Italy.

We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of erenumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody inhibiting the calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor (CGRPr), for the prevention of migraine in a real-life setting.
