  2. descending • control • phantom prototypical “neuropathic pain” Mind-body problem: “phantom sensation the best possible proof of the existence of the eternal soul. If an arm can survive physical destruction, why not the whole person?” Admiral Lord Nelson (died Battle of Trafalgar, 1805)

  3. stump pain phantom pain

  4. telescoping • key distinctions • phantom -phantom pain • stump pain, allodynia • variable onset/ persistence • individual variability • movement, telescoping

  5. Plasticity of body schema: reference of sensation from face and chest into the phantom Chronholm 1953

  6. median n. section D3 amputation >

  7. Map distortion enhanced in patients with PLP Flor, Birbaumer … does remapping enhance pain, or does pain enhance remapping ?

  8. Nerve injury  somatotopic remapping (DH, DCN, thalamus & SS cortex) Devor & Wall 1981 delete follicle  neighboring barrels expand van der Loos

  9. df: “neuropathic pain” is pain associated with injury or dysfunction of the nervous system “The paradox of neuropathic pain”: …nerve injury should dull sensation, not enhance it ! • spontaneous pain • pain on movement & • deep palpation • allodynia/hyperalgesia • hyperpathia

  10. central sensitization * * hypothesis: (CNS amplification of evoked & spontaneous afferent impulse activity) Chung model

  11. 2003 European survey on chronic pain • n >46,000 )telephone survey( • 16 European countries (including Israel) • Adults (18 years old or older) • sponsored by Mundipharma • Criterion for "Chronic pain" • Pain for > 6 months duration • Pain within the past month • Pain at least several times a week • Pain intensity >5/10 Breivik et. EJP ‘05

  12. Pain – there's a lot of it! Overall European Prevalence(n=46,394)19% report "chronic pain" (%) (%) (n=46,394) Breivik et. EJP ‘05

  13. How often does it hurt? • 67% of sufferers report experiencing chronic pain all the time Frequency – Israel– (n=322) כמה פעמים בשבוע כל יוםכל הזמן Breivik et. EJP ‘05

  14. Main types of chronic pain headache incl. migraine backache & sciatica arthritis (esp. OA) chronic abdominal pain diffuse musculoskeletal (fibromyalgia) neuropathies (shingles (PHN), diabetes, trauma… ~5% of total, but most refractory, costly) Breivik et. EJP ‘05

  15. What is the origin of the nerve impulses that are felt as a phantom limb ?

  16. “neuromatrix” R. Melzack dorsal root ganglion nerve end neuroma

  17. nerve end neuroma Following axotomy ectopic burst firing develops at the nerve injury site…. Wall & Gutnick ‘74 Devor & Govrin- Lippmann ‘78

  18. Nystrom & Hagbarth ‘81

  19. DRG peripheral nerve Matsuda et al. 1981

  20. Following axotomy, ectopic burst firing develops at the nerve injury site…. and in the DRG (Wall & Devor ‘83)

  21. Ectopic hyperexcitability in 10 afferent neurons is important for neuropathic pain, but what causes the ectopia ?? Liu et al. 2000

  22. NGF, BDNF, NT3, GDNF spike activity ? “Phenotype” of sensory neurons is closely regulated to ensure appropriate excitability and stimulus selectivity

  23. NGF, BDNF, NT3, GDNF Na+-ch immuno-labeling at chronic injured axon end spike activity ? Devor et. 1989 Neuropathy (axonopathy, demyelination) alters the phenotype (behavior) of sensory neurons: protein trafficking neuroma

  24. control Nav1.3 DRG soma NGF, BDNF, NT3, GDNF axotomy Na-ch upregulation spike activity ? Waxman et ‘94 Chung et ‘02 Axonopathy (and demyelination ?) alters the phenotype of sensory neurons: gene expression X

  25. NGF, BDNF, NT3, GDNF spike activity ? Boucher et al. 2000

  26. phantom “neuromatrix” DRG PLP eliminated in ca. 50% of patients (Birbaumer et.J.Neurosci’97) nerve/plexus block central sensitization spinal block emergent pain rare (<1/23) (PLP “always” gone Tessler & Kleiman ’94; Boas, Satav personal comm.)

  28. how much neuroma ? how much DRG ? 25% 75% Liu et al. 2000
