Overview

Andrea Truini is affiliated with Sapienza University of Rome in Italy, with a primary focus on medicine. Their research spans multiple subfields, including neurology, physiology, psychiatry and mental health, pathology and forensic medicine, and cognitive neuroscience.

The scientist's work prominently covers topics such as pain mechanisms and treatments, botulinum toxin and related neurological disorders, trigeminal neuralgia and treatments, pain management and the placebo effect, musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation, peripheral neuropathies and disorders, and fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome research.

Recent publications by Andrea Truini include:

  • Joint European Academy of Neurology-European Pain Federation-Neuropathic Pain Special Interest Group of the International Association for the Study of Pain guidelines on neuropathic pain assessment, 2023, European Journal of Neurology
  • Trigeminal Neuralgia, 2020, New England Journal of Medicine (authored by G. Cruccu)
  • Human surrogate models of central sensitization: A critical review and practical guide, 2021, European Journal of Pain (authored by Charles Quesada)
  • Pharmacotherapy and non-invasive neuromodulation for neuropathic pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis, 2025, The Lancet Neurology (authored by Nadia Soliman)
  • Familial trigeminal neuralgia - a systematic clinical study with a genomic screen of the neuronal electrogenisome, 2020, Cephalalgia (authored by Giulia Di Stefano)

Andrea Truini has frequently co-authored with several researchers, including:

  • Giulia Di Stefano
  • Giuseppe Di Pietro
  • Caterina Leone
  • Eleonora Galosi
  • Pietro Falco

Their research has been published repeatedly in key venues such as:
