A female-specific role for trigeminal dynorphin in orofacial pain comorbidity.

Migraine is commonly reported in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), but little is known about the mechanisms underlying the comorbid condition. Here, we prepared a mouse model to investigate this […]

Validation of the pediatric version of the Graded Chronic Pain Scale Revised in school-aged children and adolescents.

The Graded Chronic Pain Scale (GCPS) was originally developed to grade the severity of chronic pain conditions in adults. A revised version of this instrument (ie, GCPS-R) has been developed […]

Rare GPR37L1 variants reveal potential roles in anxiety and migraine disorders.

GPR37L1 is an orphan receptor that couples through heterotrimeric G-proteins to regulate physiological functions. Since its role in humans is not fully defined, we used an unbiased computational approach to […]

Both systemic Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) and a vestibular challenge promote anxiety-related behaviors and dynamic imbalance in mice.

Motion-induced anxiety and agoraphobia are more frequent symptoms in patients with vestibular migraine than migraine without vertigo. The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a therapeutic target for migraine and […]

The optimal learning cocktail for placebo analgesia: a randomized controlled trial comparing individual and combined techniques.

This study investigated for the first time the effects of individual and combined application of three learning techniques (verbal suggestions, classical conditioning, and observational learning) on placebo analgesia and extinction. […]

Identifying Stress-Exacerbated Thermal-Injury Induced microRNAs.

Using a model of Combat and Operational Stress Reaction (COSR), our lab recently showed that exposure to an unpredictable combat stress (UPCS) procedure prior to a thermal injury increases pain […]

Prescription Opioid Initiation for Neuropathy, Headache, and Low Back Pain: A US population-based Medicare study.

Neuropathy, headache, and low back pain (LBP) are common conditions requiring pain management. Yet little is known regarding whether access to specialists impacts opioid prescribing. We aimed to identify factors […]

Preventive treatment patterns and treatment satisfaction in migraine: results of the OVERCOME (EU) study.

Insights into the burden, needs and treatment of migraine from internet-based surveys in diverse real-world migraine populations are needed, especially at a time when novel preventive migraine medications are becoming […]

The intersection of drug use discrimination and racial discrimination in the management of chronic non-cancer pain in United States primary care safety-net clinics: Implications for healthcare system and clinic-level changes.

Clinicians’ bias related to patients’ race and substance use history play a role in pain management. However, patients’ or clinicians’ understandings about discriminatory practices and the structural factors that contribute […]

Impact of antidepressant medication on the analgetic effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment of neuropathic pain. Preliminary findings from a registry study.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been found to be effective in chronic neuropathic pain conditions. However, information about the combined effects of rTMS and antidepressant treatment is scarce. We […]
