1st and 2nd Line Recommendations L ordine di scelta deve tener conto di altri fattori che non siano solo la bontà degli RCT e quindi non basta il livello di evidenza, anche se la scelta va fatta sempre all interno delle terapie sostenute da adeguata evidenza. Bisogna tener conto dell efficacia (da non confondere con il livello di evidenza), della tollerabilità e degli effetti sulla qualità di vita, della sicurezza (da non confondersi con la tollerabilità). Il tutto, però, sempre a livello di indicazioni/norme generali applicabili alla maggioranza della popolazione. G.Cruccu, Position Meeting, Roma 2013 GRÜNENTHAL Name der Präsentation Datum Page 6

Importance of QoL and comorbidities In the majority of pain trials, pain relief is the primary endpoint In clinical practice, our goal is to provide the patient with a good standard of living Hence, the evaluation of treatments for their effect on global change, sleep, mood, functional capacity, and QoL are recommended 1 QoL=Quality of life. 1.

Major discussions: safety concerns about opioids The lack of long-term studies of opioids in chronic non-cancer patients pain was one of the main objections raised in the guidelines 1 We believe that in patients with non-cancer pain the long span of life may pose unknown problems with opioid treatments However, the discussion is still open. More controlled, long-term studies, and QoL assessments are needed 1 1. Attal N, et al. Eur J Neurol. 2010; 2. Portenoy RK, et al. Clin J Pain. 2007. GRÜNENTHAL Name der Präsentation Datum Page 9

Pain: Definition Pain, according to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage 1 Pain as disease Chronic pain is not simply acute pain that lasts longer. It is a disease process with different mechanisms 2 Understanding of the mechanisms or pathophysiology of chronic pain can guide optimal treatment 3 1- Merskey H, et al.

IASP Definitions 1994/2008 Nociception: the neural processes of encoding and processing noxious stimuli Nociceptive stimulus: an actually or potentially tissue-damaging event transduced and encoded by nociceptors Dysesthesia: an unpleasant abnormal sensation, whether spontaneous or evoked Paresthesia: an abnormal sensation, whether spontaneous or evoked Hyperalgesia: increased pain sensitivity. Allodynia: pain in response to a non-nociceptive stimulus. Hyperpathia: a painful syndrome characterized by an abnormally painful reaction to a stimulus, especially a ripetitive stimulus, as well as an increased threshold GRÜNENTHAL Name der Präsentation Datum Page 16

Any help from questionnaires for NeP? - The clinical usefulness of distinguishing features of NeP is related to their applicability in differential diagnostic issues. - A comprehensive background is available in each patient; history, pain drawing, pain characteristics, signsmake use of it! - Admittedly, sometimes we need more since no gold standard for the pain identification.

Neuroma: chemical, mechanical, electrical hypersensitivity Spreading cellular pathobiology involved in cell death, regeneration and pain following peripheral nerve transection. The sequence of events should start at proximal sprouts of neuroma (right side) and then move to dorsal root (DR) ganglion neuron to postsynaptic spinal cord neuron. From data by Herdegen, Gillardon and Zimmermann 1989 1998 GRÜNENTHAL Name der Präsentation Datum Page 65
Even if an ectopical and spontaneous raise of nerve discharge can occur in the proximal part of the injred nerve, it is reasonable to support the idea that a neuroma becomes painful under for instance a continuous stimulation. It is worth of note that C fibers are less prone to spontaneous discharge than A-beta fibers. GRÜNENTHAL Name der Präsentation Datum Page 66
Ipereccitabilità neuronale nella neuroprassia: after discharge Nella lesione nervosa con conservazione dell assone e danno alla mielina, si possono generare impulsi nella sede di lesione mielica con scarica sia spontanea che a seguito di stimolazione lesionale Quando la scarica ectopica è provocata questa può essere provocata sia da uno stimolo sulla lesione che da un attivazione fisiologica dell assone. Si tratta quindi prevalentemente un meccanismo a carico delle fibre mielinizzate (allodinia). Il meccanismo è detto di after discharge o moltiplicazione degli impulsi GRÜNENTHAL Name der Präsentation Datum Page 67
Cross-excitation/talking Chemical crosstalking Ephaptic crosstalking Crossed afterdischarge Name der Präsentation Datum Page 68
Chemical crosstalking Avviene quando una fibra lesa viene attivata dal rilascio di ioni da una fibra vicina integra. GRÜNENTHAL Name der Präsentation Datum Page 69
Electric crosstalking When the myelin sheath is damaged, (i) a spike propagating in one axon can induce (ii) a depolarization in the other axon, which might lead to (iii) the generation of a full spike. The two best-known types of cell cell communication are chemical synapse and electrical synapses, which are formed by gap junctions. A third, less well known, form of communication is ephaptic transmission, in which electric fields generated by a specific neuron alter the excitability of neighboring neurons as a result of their anatomical and electrical proximity. Ephaptic communication can be present in a variety of forms, each with their specific features and functional implications. In pathological situations where the myelin sheath of neurons is damaged, a neuron can affect its neighbors by spreading current through the extracellular space. Thus, a spike generated in one axon induces a small potential difference in a neighboring axon, which could lead to the generation of a spike that couples the two axons (a). It was erroneously believed that this type of ephaptic communication only occurred in pathological conditions such as neuropathic pain GRÜNENTHAL Name der Präsentation Datum Page 70
Paroxysmal afterdischarge due to direct mechanical stimulation of a DRG and to DRG cross-excitation afterdischarge. The sciatic nerve is partially injured. A gentle rubbing of the skin of the hind paw evoked a crossed afterdischarge burst. The recorded neuron did not respond directly to the skin stimulus as its axon had been cut across before placement on the recording electrode (R). However, neighboring neurons in the DRG with intact axons were directly activated and their activity cross-excited the recorded neuron. GRÜNENTHAL Name der Präsentation Datum Page 71
