Visually enhanced vestibulo-ocular reflex gain in patients with vestibular disease.

Vestibular migraine (VM) is a diagnostic challenge. Visually enhanced vestibulo-ocular reflex (VVOR) gain, a measure of the visual-vestibular interaction, has been proposed as a tool for diagnosing VM. This study […]

Human Spinal Oligodendrogenic Neural Progenitor Cells Enhance Pathophysiological Outcomes and Functional Recovery in a Clinically Relevant Cervical Spinal Cord Injury Rat Model.

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) results in the loss of neurons, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes. Present interventions for SCI include decompressive surgery, anti-inflammatory therapies, and rehabilitation programs. Nonetheless, these approaches do […]

Suffering from chronic tinnitus, chronic neck pain, or both: Does it impact the presence of signs and symptoms of central sensitization?

Chronic subjective tinnitus is a prevalent symptom, which has many similarities with chronic pain. Central sensitization is considered as a possible underlying mechanism of both symptoms. Central sensitization has already […]

Antinociceptive effects of nefopam activating descending serotonergic modulation via 5-HT2 receptors in the nucleus raphe magnus.

Nefopam is a centrally acting antinociceptive drug; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. This study investigated the supraspinal mechanisms of nefopam.

Neat1 lncRNA organizes the inflammatory gene expressions in the dorsal root ganglion in neuropathic pain caused by nerve injury.

Primary sensory neurons regulate inflammatory processes in innervated regions through neuro-immune communication. However, how their immune-modulating functions are regulated in concert remains largely unknown. Here, we show that Neat1 long […]

Estimation of the density of veins from susceptibility-weighted imaging by using Mamdani fuzzy-type rule-based system. Investigating the neurovascular coupling in migraine.

An impaired neurovascular coupling has been described as a possible player in neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Migraine is a recurrent and incapacitating disorder that starts early in life and has […]

Progesterone receptor activation regulates sensory sensitivity.

Women develop chronic pain during their reproductive years more often than men, and estrogen and progesterone regulate this susceptibility. We tested whether brain progesterone receptor (PR) signaling regulates pain susceptibility. […]

Nuclear Factor Kappa B Over-Activation in the Intervertebral Disc Leads to Macrophage Recruitment and Severe Disc Degeneration.

Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of global disability and is thought to be driven primarily by intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (DD). Persistent upregulation of catabolic enzymes and […]

Decreased myelin-related gene expression in the nucleus accumbens during spontaneous neonatal opioid withdrawal in the absence of long-term behavioral effects in adult outbred CFW mice.

Prenatal opioid exposure is a major health concern in the United States, with the incidence of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) escalating in recent years. NOWS occurs upon cessation of […]

Right posterior insular epidural stimulation in rats with neuropathic pain induces a frequency-dependent and opioid system-mediated reduction of pain and its comorbid anxiety and depression.

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a sensory, emotional, and persistent disturbing experience caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory system which can lead when chronic to comorbidities such as […]
