Abstract

Axonal excitability reflects ion channel function and it is proposed that this may be a biomarker in painful (versus painless) polyneuropathy. Our objective was to investigate the relationship between axonal excitability parameters and chronic neuropathic pain in deeply phenotyped cohorts with diabetic or chemotherapy induced distal symmetrical polyneuropathy.
