Phenotyping for neuropathic painWhere do we start?
“No whole-genome association study has been conducted yet for neuropathic pain. The problems are formidable:• How to phenotype patients in a standardized way to
eliminate spurious associations,• Which controls to use, and• How large the cohorts need to be to retain sensitivity
but eliminate false positive results….”

NeuroPPICNeuropathic pain phenotyping by international consensus
THREE-STAGE PROCESS:
Systematic review: Identify and compare phenotypes used in genetic studies of non-cancer neuropathic pain in adults;
Delphi survey: Obtain expert consensus on phenotype components to determine ‘caseness’;
Consensus meeting: To develop a consensus statement on an approach to phenotyping to identify an ‘entry level’ phenotype.

ROUND 2• Results of Round 1 distributed with Round 2 invitations• 16 (94%) completed Round 2

van Hecke et al., 2015
NeuroPPIC: Delphi surveySummary
Good consensus:That diagnostic certainty increases as more assessment domains are used.
Less consensus:On what the various assessment domains should include
From a list of 14 symptoms consensus was reached on:o “hot / burning”o “pain evoked by light touch”
From a list of 12 clinical signs, consensus was reached on:o “dynamic mechanical allodynia”o “altered sensitivity to punctate mechanical stimuli”
van Hecke et al., 2015
NeuroPPIC: Consensus meeting
AIMTo develop a consensus statement on an approach to phenotyping to identify an ‘entry level’ phenotype.
CONSENSUS MEETING
Date & venue: 12 to 13 June 2014, Versailles, France
Delegates: 18 experts (neurology, anaesthesiology, pain medicine, palliative care, primary care, basic neuroscience, and genetics)
Meeting aims and format
van Hecke et al., 2015
NeuroPPIC: Consensus meeting
• The basis of establishing neuropathic pain ‘caseness’ for genetic studies.
• To provide a framework to:o Guide study designo Facilitate unambiguous appraisal of findings
• Allow the addition of more in-depth measures for higher level phenotyping
Goals of the ‘Entry-level’ phenotype
van Hecke et al., 2015
NeuroPPIC: Consensus meeting
Symptom assessment using neuropathic pain screening tools
• The symptom component of at least one validated screening tool
• Screening tools should have been validated in:
o The language and culture of the target population(s)
o The condition(s) under investigation
‘Entry-level’ phenotype – ‘possible neuropathic pain’
van Hecke et al., 2015

History
• Pain duration
• Pain intensity over the last 24 hours
• The presence of any previously diagnosed chronic pain syndromes
• Demographic information

NeuroPPICConclusion
• The field is characterized by high levels of heterogeneity
• Heterogeneity reduces:o Interpretation
o Collaboration / meta-analyses
o Reproducibility
• NeuroPPIC sought to reduce the heterogeneity
