outcomes. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the physiological processes contributing to sensory changes that develop over time. Objective: To investigate the physiological processes contributing to neuropathic pain sensory changes and locomotor impairments with sensory phenotypes that develop over time. Methods: Using the tail flick and von Frey tests, we performed hierarchical clustering to determine the subpopulation of rats that developed thermal and mechanical sensory abnormalities. To measure inflammation as a potential mediator of CNP phenotypes, we used flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. Finally, to assess the secondary effects on locomotor recovery, up to 8 weeks after injury, we used the CatWalk test to assess multiple parameters of gait. Results: The von Frey test showed a subpopulation of SCI rats that were hyposensitive to mechanical stimuli from 6 to 8 weeks after injury. The tail flick test showed a subpopulation of SCI rats that were hypersensitive to thermal st

there is increasing interest in sensitivity to everyday sensory stimuli as it relates to chronic pain, potentially serving as an indirect marker of altered central nervous system sensory processing. However, sensitivity to multiple sensory inputs, eg, bright lights, certain fabrics, loud noises, etc, is described using multiple terminologies. The lack of a common vocabulary makes it difficult to find and summarize related discoveries, potentially inhibiting scientific progress. Thus, the purpose of this scoping review was to identify and characterize the terminology used in publications assessing some form of multisensory sensitivity as it relates to pain (eg, a pain cohort or pain sensitivity). Our review of 6 databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO+, and Cochrane) comprehensively cataloged peer-reviewed studies published through March 2023 in this domain. Of 12,841 possible studies identified, 92 met all inclusion criteria, with over 80% being published in the last decade

known about the mechanisms underlying progression to multiple (more than 1) COPCs. This study aims to address the gap by investigating the role of common and modifiable risk factors, specifically sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances, in the development of multiple COPCs. Methods: The study will enroll 300 participants with cLBP, including 200 with cLBP only and 100 with cLBP plus other COPCs (ie, fibromyalgia, temporomandibular disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, and chronic headaches) and follow them up for 12 months. Sleep and circadian rhythms will be assessed using wireless sleep electroencephalography, 24-hour evaluation of the rhythm of urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin, actigraphy, and sleep diaries. Pain amplification using quantitative sensory testing, psychological distress using validated self-report measures, and the number of pain sites using a pain body map will also be assessed. Perspectives: This research aims to (1) comprehensively characterize sleep/circadian disturban

indication, this protocol enables the efficient evaluation of potential therapeutics with different mechanisms of action in 3 pain types: nociceptive pain (osteoarthritis), neuropathic pain (diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain), and mixed pain (chronic low back pain). Methods: The study design was determined before the identification of any specific molecule. Statistical simulations were conducted to optimize the methodology and design, the culmination of which were submitted to and accepted by the Complex Innovative Trial Design Pilot Meeting Program, a unique collaboration with the United States Food and Drug Administration. Benefits of the CPMP include limiting the number of study participants exposed to placebo and reducing the total sample size over time by leveraging placebo data across studies within a pain type and efficacy data across pain types for a specific molecule. The CPMP design enables: (1) efficient evaluation of multiple novel mechanisms of action; (2) the study of
