Introduction[edit | edit source]

Neurogenic inflammation (NI) is a physiological process in which mediators are released directly from the cutaneous nerves to initiate an inflammatory reaction in response to tissue damage or a painful stimuli. This results in the production of local inflammatory responses including erythema, swelling, temperature increase, tenderness, and pain.

Neurogenic inflammation has also been implicated in the pathophysiology of numerous diseases, including complex regional pain syndrome, migraine, and irritable bowel, arthritis, bladder inflammation, asthma and bladder syndromes. However, in the setting of wound healing, neurogenic inflammation helps maintain tissue integrity and facilitate tissue repair.[1]

Mechanism of Injury[edit | edit source]

Neurogenic inflammation is initiated by activation of peripheral nervous system C-fibre neurons causing a release of neuropeptides, such as substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which triggers inflammation at the site that is different from the original stimuli. Many different chemicals, including formaldehyde, ether, and cigarette smoke, can exert an irritant effect by stimulating these c-fibers in humans[1].

Post Stroke Depression[edit | edit source]

Post Stroke Depression (PSD) is one of the most common mood disorders with depressive consequences in stroke patients[2]. PSD affects approximately one-third of stroke patients[3] and is a significant factor in poor recovery[4]. PSD negatively affects the quality of life, functional ability and prognostic outcomes[4]. Studies suggests that it is also linked to an increased likelihood of stroke recurrence and death[5][6]. PSD may reduce life expectancy through multiple factors such as: cognitive decline, increased risk of falls, high suicidal rate, functional impairment, stagnated recovery process and poor response to rehabilitation [7][8].

Contrarily, a reduction of depressive symptoms has been associated with better functional recovery; also, patients treated for depression show a better functional prognosis compared to untreated, depressed patients[7].

Mechanisms[edit | edit source]

Several mechanisms correlate PSD to neurologic dysfunction[4].

  • Inflammation: Inflammation resulting from stroke and depression impacts neuroplasticity, as seen by the decreased availability of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in synapses.
  • Increased stress: A disproportionate increase in stress also causes physiological changes predisposing patients to hypertension and cardiac dysrhythmias
  • Immune and inflammatory pathways: individual’s emotional and social experiences triggers the activation of various components of the immune and inflammatory pathways .
  • Cytokines: act a mediator in chronic inflammatory processes linked to stroke-related complications
