Vitamin D deficiency and neuropathic pain in chronic spinal cord injury: a cross-sectional study
Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent and a strong, independent predictor of neuropathic pain in individuals with chronic SCI. These cross-sectional findings suggest routine screening for vitamin D deficiency might be indicated; however, interventional trials are needed to confirm a potential therapeutic role of vitamin D supplementation in managing SCI-related NeP.
