Aquadynia, a rare water-pain disorder, may involve vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and have an adrenal component. Further research is needed to understand this condition and its treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Neurology
  • Pain Medicine

Background:

  • Aquadynia is an extremely rare disorder characterized by water-related cutaneous pain.
  • Recently described, aquadynia presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 40-year-old woman experienced aquagenic pruritus with associated paresthesia and pain.
  • Standard clinical, histological, and electrophysiological examinations were normal.
  • Immunohistochemical analysis revealed VIP-immunoreactive epidermal cells, suggesting a potential role for VIP.

Findings:

  • No alterations in nerve density for substance P, CGRP, VIP, or somatostatin were observed.
  • VIP-immunoreactive cells in the epidermis may produce VIP upon water contact.
  • Treatments like clonidine and capsaicin showed partial efficacy, with propranolol and clonidine suggesting an adrenal component.

Implications:

  • The presence of VIP-immunoreactive cells offers a potential mechanistic insight into aquadynia.
  • Understanding the adrenal component may guide future therapeutic strategies.
  • Further investigation into VIP's role and adrenal involvement is warranted for aquadynia management.
