Individuals with AD have a markedly reduced life expectancy, dying up to 28 years earlier than the general population. Current treatments for AD show limited efficacy, with many patients not responding to these interventions, highlighting the need for new therapeutic options with novel mechanisms of action. Sodium oxybate (SMO), the sodium salt of GHB, is one such candidate, pharmacologically similar to alcohol; it acts on several neurotransmitters including GABA, potentially mitigating withdrawal symptoms and craving for alcohol. SMO has been clinically used in Italy and Austria since the 1990s, approved for treating alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) and for maintaining abstinence in AD patients. Several randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses showed evidence of SMO to be effective and safe in these indications. For AWS, SMO was more effective than placebo and as effective as benzodiazepines in reducing withdrawal symptoms. For maintaining abstinence, SMO significantly improved continuous abstinence duration and abstinence rate compared to placebo. Comprehensive clinical data indicate that SMO is well-tolerated, with main adverse effects being mild, such as dizziness and vertigo, and serious adverse events being rare. The effectiveness and safety of SMO, coupled with its approval in two EU countries affirm its potential as a treatment option for AD, particularly in severe cases. Further RCTs, especially with stratification by severity of dependence, are suggested to refine our understanding of its efficacy across different patient subgroups.</p>","PeriodicalId":94058,"journal":{"name":"International review of neurobiology","volume":"178 ","pages":"213-281"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142635063","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}

Substitution maintenance therapy is one of the most effective treatment options for opioid and nicotine use disorders. So far, there has been little attention to substitution therapy for the treatment of AD. Here, we explain the mechanistic foundations of alcohol substitution maintenance therapy. Alcohol has many primary targets in the brain (and other organs) and the physical interaction of ethanol molecules with these specific ethanol-sensitive sites on a variety of ionotropic receptors (e.g. GABA-A, NMDA, and nicotinic acetylcholine (nACh) receptors) and ion channels provides the rationale for substitution. As such, a variety of compounds can interact with those ethanol-sensitive sites and can thus substitute for some of the effects of alcohol. For some of these compounds, alcohol discrimination studies have shown their substitution potential. Accordingly, potential substitution treatments include agonists acting at GABA receptors such as sodium oxybate, baclofen and benzodiazepines, NMDA receptor antagonists such as ketamine and memantine, or nAChRs agonists such as varenicline. All these compounds are already approved for other indications and we present clinical evidence for these drugs in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) and in the long-term treatment of AD, and outline future steps for their acceptance as substitution treatment in AD. Finally, we discuss the substitution approach of managed alcohol programs for the most severely affected homeless populations. Results showed that sodium oxybate is probably the closest to a substitution therapy for AD and is already approved for the treatment of AWS and in the long-term treatment of AD in some countries. In conclusion, we argue that better AD treatment can be provided if substitution maintenance treatments for alcohol are implemented at a similar scale as for opioid and nicotine use disorder.</p>","PeriodicalId":94058,"journal":{"name":"International review of neurobiology","volume":"175 ","pages":"187-239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140330373","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}

SFN is characterized by neuropathic pain, that is often described as burning, and typically presents in the hands and feet ascending proximally. Since small nerve fibers are involved in the autonomic nervous system, SFN can also lead to autonomic dysfunction. In the clinical setting, SFN diagnosis is frequently based on the Besta Criteria, which include skin biopsy and quantitative sensory testing. For clinical trials, the ACTTION criteria are also recommended. However, the diagnostic process is often complex, prompting research towards more accessible diagnostic methods. The pathophysiology of SFN remains unclear, thereby challenging therapeutic strategies. A large variety of underlying conditions has been associated with SFN, including metabolic, immune-mediated, infectious, toxic and hereditary conditions.
