Diabetic neuropathic pain is associated with impaired resting state attentional networks, specifically the parieto-fronto-cingulate network.
Attentional network impairment may contribute to diabetic neuropathic pain; leaves open whether modulating this network offers clinical benefit.
In diabetic NP, a parieto-fronto-cingulate network controlling attention to external stimuli is impaired. In line with previous studies, chronic pain can disrupt the synchrony of a common pool of brain areas, involved in self-monitoring, pain processing and salience detection.
