1 I POTENZIALI EVOCATI LASER (LEPs) NELL ANALISI DEL DOLORE NEUROPATICO LASER EVOKED POTENTIALS (LEPs) IN NEUROPATHIC PAIN ASSESSMENT Ferdinando Sartucci 1,2,3 1 Dipartimento di Medicina Clinica e Sperimentale, Unità di Neurofisiopatologia Universitaria, Università di Pisa, Pisa; 2 DAI di Specialità Mediche, Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Pisana (AOUP), Pisa; 3 Istituto di Neuroscienze, CNR, Pisa.
2 Neuropathic pain SOMATOSENSORY AFFERENT PATHWAY Neuropathic pain is pain arising as a direct consequence of a lesion or disease affecting the somatosensory system (Treede et al., Neurology 2008) 2
3 Neuropathic pain epidemiology Author Methods Sample Pain Prevalence Toth, 2009 Perez, 2009 Bouhassira, 2008 telephonic use of DN4 observational study in primary care postal survey, DN % 18% % 11% % 6.9% Neuropathic pain prevalence 3

6 Standard neurophysiological testing Trigeminal reflexes (A -fibre mediated) A -fibres C-fibres A -fibres NCS (A -fibre mediated) Somatosensory evoked potentials (A -fibre mediated) 6
7 Differential diagnosis between CTN and STN Trigeminal reflexes in STN % Findings in 120 patients CTN STN Normal trigeminal reflexes Abnormal trigeminal reflexes Abnormal trigeminal reflexes are strongly associated with symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia (STN). We found a sensitivity of 96% (95% CI: 80 to 99) and a specificity of 93% (95% CI: 86 to 96), and positive and negative predictive values of 0.77 and 0.99, respectively. 7

32 Conclusion Standard neurophysiological responses to electrical stimuli, such as nerve conduction studies and somatosensory-evoked potentials, are useful to demonstrate, locate, and quantify damage along the peripheral or central sensory pathways. But they do not assess function of nociceptive pathways. LEPs are easy to record and can be obtained following stimulation of any dermatomal areas They are more altered in spontaneous constant pain than in iperalgesia or allodynia LEPs are the easiest and most reliable neurophysiological method of assessing function of nociceptive pathways. Late LEPs (which assess A-delta pathways) are diagnostically useful in peripheral and central neuropathic pains. Normal or facilitated LEPs suggest nociceptive pathways integrity and not support a neuropathic pain In selected context (pain sine material, non-organic anesthesia); increased in amplitude LEPs suggest a psychogenic basis Punch skin biopsy is easy to perform, is minimally invasive, and most suitable for follow-up. Punch skin biopsy is a minimally invasive tool for detecting small fibre involvement. More study with C-LEPs are necessary to determine amyelinic role in pain physiopathogenesis 32
