Moderator: Katarina Rukavina (Berlin, Germany) Guest: Keela Herr (Iowa City, USA) How do we recognize and manage pain in people with dementia? In this episode of EAN Cast: Weekly Neurology, Katarina Rukavina hosts Keela Herr and they talk about the impact of pain on people living with dementia, strategies for its assessment and management, and how healthcare professionals can work together with family members and carers to ensure holistic care.

EAN moderator: Anna K. Szewczyk (Lublin, Poland) Guest:Grazia Devigili (Milan, Italy) Anna K. Szewczyk and Grazia Devigili discuss Small fiber neuropathy (SFN), a broad group of conditions affecting small nerve fibers (Aδ or C). SFN is characterized by impaired pain and temperature sensation, as well as autonomic dysfunction. Its diagnosis and treatment are challenging, though recent findings on specific autoantibodies and ion channel polymorphisms offer new perspectives for understanding these forms and developing more targeted therapies.

Moderators and guests: Barbara Tettenborn (Bern, Switzerland) and Roberta Balestrino (Milan, Italy) Barbara Tettenborn and Roberta Balestrino discuss the journey of the EAN e-learning platform, eanCampus.
