AAPT Diagnostic Criteria for Central Neuropathic Pain
Central neuropathic pain, which is pain caused by a lesion or disease of the central somatosensory nervous system, is a serious consequence of spinal cord injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis and other conditions affecting the central nervous system. A collaborative effort between the Analgesic, Anesthetic, and Addiction Clinical Trial Translations, Innovations, Opportunities, and Networks (ACTTION) public-private partnership and the American Pain Society (APS), the ACTTION-APS Pain Taxonomy (AAPT) initiative, invited a working group to develop diagnostic criteria for central neuropathic pain.

Materials considerations of implantable neuroengineering devices for clinical use
Publication date: Available online 16 September 2014 Source:Current Opinion in Solid State and Materials Science Author(s): Daniel R. Merrill Implantable devices for recording and stimulation of the human nervous system offer promise for the treatment of disorders including spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, sensory and motor deficits, chronic pain, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and amputation. While advances in neuroengineering devices have been impressive, often the expectations and desires for a chronically implantable device remain unrealized. In the face of engineering approaches which perform wel...
