Central sensitization as the mechanism underlying pain in joint hypermobility syndrome/Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type.
G. Di Stefano,Claudia Celletti,R. Baron,Marco Castori,M. Di Franco,S. La Cesa,Caterina Leone,A. Pepe,Giorgio Cruccu,Andrea Truini,Filippo Camerota +10 more
TL;DR: A large number of patients with joint hypermobility syndrome/Ehlers–Danlos syndrome/JHS/EDS‐HT commonly suffer from pain, and previous studies suggested it shares similar mechanisms with neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia.

Palmitoylethanolamide Restores Myelinated-Fibre Function in Patients with Chemotherapy-Induced Painful Neuropathy
Andrea Truini,Antonella Biasiotta,G. Di Stefano,S. La Cesa,Caterina Leone,Claudio Cartoni,Vincenzo Federico,Maria Teresa Petrucci,Giorgio Cruccu +8 more
TL;DR: Changes in neurophysiological measures indicate that PEA exerted a positive action on myelinated fibre groups, possibly by moderating mast cell hyperactivity, and relieved conduction blocks secondary to endoneural edema in patients with chemotherapy-induced painful neuropathy.

Human surrogate models of central sensitization: A critical review and practical guide
Charles Quesada,Anna Kostenko,Idy Ho,Caterina Leone,Zahra Nochi,Alexandre Stouffs,Matthias Wittayer,Ombretta Caspani,Nanna B. Finnerup,André Mouraux,Gisèle Pickering,Irene Tracey,Andrea Truini,Rolf-Detlef Treede,Luis Garcia-Larrea +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a systematic literature review (PubMed-Medline, Cochrane, WoS, ClinicalTrials) and semi-quantitative meta-analysis of human pain models that aim to induce central sensitization, and generate hyperalgesia surrounding a real or simulated injury.

Skin denervation does not alter cortical potentials to surface concentric electrode stimulation: A comparison with laser evoked potentials and contact heat evoked potentials.
S. La Cesa,G. Di Stefano,Caterina Leone,A. Pepe,Eleonora Galosi,F. Alu,Alessandra Fasolino,Giorgio Cruccu,Massimiliano Valeriani,Andrea Truini +9 more
TL;DR: In the neurophysiological assessment of patients with neuropathic pain, laser evoked potentials (LEPs), contact heat evoked possibles (CHEPs) and the evoking potentials by the intraepidermal electrical stimulation via concentric needle electrode are widely agreed as nociceptive specific responses.

Small-fibre pathology has no impact on somatosensory system function in patients with fibromyalgia.
Alessandra Fasolino,Giulia Di Stefano,Caterina Leone,Eleonora Galosi,Chiara Gioia,Bruno Lucchino,Alessandra Terracciano,Manuela Di Franco,Giorgio Cruccu,Andrea Truini +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that small-fibre pathology has a negligible impact on somatosensory system function in fibromyalgia and the genetic analysis suggests that patients with rare small- fibre neuropathy due to voltage-gated sodium channel variants may be misdiagnosed as patients with fibromy arthritis.
