This study aims to compare the clinical effectiveness and treatment satisfaction of two triple‐therapy regimens in treating neuropathic pain in a real‐world setting. This prospective, single‐center, observational study compared the efficacy, safety, and treatment satisfaction of triple therapy in Pregabalin triple therapy versus Gabapentin triple therapy for patients with neuropathic pain. The primary outcome measured the reduction in mean Self‐Administered Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs pain score value from the baseline to 12 weeks posttreatment. The secondary outcome measured the treatment satisfaction for both therapies using the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication version 1.4. Of 264 patients who received either treatment group, during the third follow‐up, it became evident that Group A Pregabalin triple therapy yielded a significantly more substantial reduction in neuropathic pain (60.61%) when compared to Group B Gabapentin triple therapy (12.88%). Furthermore, patients expressed markedly higher levels of satisfaction and convenience with the Pregabalin treatment (p ≤ 0.001). Our study's findings, encompassing both clinical effectiveness and treatment satisfaction, unequivocally demonstrate that Group A surpasses Group B in ameliorating neuropathic symptoms and signs. Pregabalin is a more effective and convenient treatment for neuropathic pain than Gabapentin, with no significant difference in side effects. Clinicians should consider Pregabalin as a first‐line treatment option for neuropathic pain, especially for patients not responding to Gabapentin or who seek a more convenient option.","PeriodicalId":94030,"journal":{"name":"Ibrain","volume":"3 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138585328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stauntonia chinensis is extracted from <i>Stauntonia chinensis</i> DC, which has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine to control trigeminal neuralgia or sciatica. However, the specific anti-neuralgia mechanism of Stauntonia chinensis is unknown. In this study, the analgesic effect of Stauntonia chinensis injection (SCI) in mice with neuropathic pain and the possible mechanisms are explored. We find that a local injection of 0.1 mL Stauntonia chinensis for 14 days can considerably relieve mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal hyperalgesia in mice with sciatic chronic constriction injury (CCI). Immunofluorescence staining shows that SCI reduces neuroinflammation in the spinal cord of CCI mice. RNA sequencing reveals that the expression of postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95), a postsynaptic scaffold protein, is downregulated in the spinal cord of CCI mice, but upregulated after SCI administration. Immunofluorescence experiments also demonstrate that SCI administration reverses microglia proliferation and PSD-95 downregulation in CCI mice.

According to the search strategy, 592 articles were screened out. The United States of America (USA) was the most productive, followed by China and Germany. The top nine institutions in terms of the number of publications include Canada and the United States, with the University of California, San Diego (USA), having the highest number of publications. The International Journal of Molecular Sciences was the most productive journal. Knoblich, Juergen A., and Lancaster, Madeline A. published the highest number of articles.

To address and facilitate the recovery of the impaired CNS, cell-based repair strategies encompass multiple mechanisms, such as neuronal replacement, therapeutic factor secretion, and the promotion of host brain plasticity. Despite the progression of cell-based CNS reparation as a therapeutic strategy throughout the years, substantial barriers have impeded its widespread implementation in clinical settings.

After five treatments, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score was reduced from 7 before treatment to 1. During the follow‐up period, at 3 months after the end of treatment, the VAS score remained at 0, and this score was sustained at 0 even at the 6‐month follow‐up.
