Latent Modulation Of Neuropathic Pain Intensity Via Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Thyroid Axis Of Psychogenic Stress, Roger J. Allen

All Faculty Scholarship

Background: In patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) delayed pain flares consistently occur ten days following salient psychogenic stress episodes. Timing of latent flares suggests pain modulation via hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis hormones.

Objective: To determine if thyroxine (T₄) may modulate latent stress-related neuropathic pain flare intensity, temporal relationships between daily stress, serum T₄ levels, and perceived pain intensity in patients with CRPS were investigated.

Patients and Methods: Daily, for ten weeks, three patients with type I CRPS and no thyroid pathology Hx provided blood samples for T₄ assay and ratings of stress and pain. Measures …
