New progress in the study of neuropathic corneal pain
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2021, Vol 36, Issue 5
Abstract
Patients with neuropathic corneal pain (NCP) have local and physical symptoms, but the clinical signs are atypical, and the treatment is not effect. With the improvement of standardization of diagnosis and treatment of dry eye, the number of patients with NCP has been increasing. The NCP is intertwined with systemic chronic pain syndrome. Corneal confocal microscope and in vivo blot cytology can find the signs of morphology and associated proteins variation. The treatments of NCP should be based on the principle of individualized, multidisciplinary treatment (MDT). This article reviews recent advances in the etiology, pathogenesis, and comprehensive treatment of NCP to guide clinical translational medicine research.
