Neuropathic pain (NP) is a chronic condition caused by abnormal neuronal excitability in the nervous system. Current treatments for NP are often ineffective or poorly tolerated. Hence, we reviewed the efficacy and safety of novel drugs or devices that target neuronal excitability in NP patients compared with placebo, sham, or usual care interventions.

- - This study explores how the brain controls and monitors motor responses, focusing on low-level sensory processing and high-level response evaluation using the Theory of Event Coding (TEC).
- - Researchers used a visuomotor task to analyze movement-related cortical potentials (MRCPs) and identified different brain signal components related to stimulus processing, motor response preparation, and evaluation of response outcomes.
- - The findings highlight the sequential activation of motor control signals and the role of statistical methods like Residual Iteration Decomposition (RIDE) and Multivariate Pattern Analysis (MVPA) in understanding the relationship between sensory processing and motor execution, particularly how the brain evaluates actions as they occur.
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) and was declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March 2020 which is leading to significant morbidity and mortality. In compliance with WHO recommendation of movement restrictions, many countries have imposed compulsory self-quarantine and restricted movements of their citizenries (lockdown/sit at home) and closure of businesses and borders as preventive measures to the fast-spreading virus. Consequently, this decision has made the emergence of behaviors that are detrimental to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) which are the leading cause of the global mortality rate.
