Insights From the International Consensus on Neuro-Irritability in Pediatric Palliative Care
An article published in Neurology Clinical Practice presents the first international expert consensus on neuro-irritability in children with severe neurologic impairment (SNI), a common symptom that significantly contributes to symptom burden and affects the quality of life of patients and caregivers. The limited understanding of neuro-irritability, combined with the absence of established guidelines, makes recognition and management challenging for clinicians; the consensus recommendations offer guidance on defining, assessing, monitoring, and treating it from a pediatric palliative care perspective, emphasizing collaborative care among multidisciplinary teams and highlighting areas for further research.
