Abstract:
Familial episodic pain syndrome is characterized by ion channel gene mutation in dorsal root ganglion neurons, and there can be neuropathic pain in different parts. However, the lack of awareness of familial episodic pain syndrome, along with the absence of uniform diagnostic and treatment standards, may lead to frequent missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. This article will review the concepts, classification, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of familial episodic pain syndrome, aimed at deepening the understanding of the diseases as well as facilitating early diagnosis and treatment.
