Abdominal pain in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in remission: A prospective study on contributing factors.

Abdominal pain is highly prevalent in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in remission, but the aetiology is incompletely understood.

Neural mechanisms of priming effects of spicy food pictures induced analgesia.

In this study, the effects of the priming of spicy food pictures on pain perception were evaluated in female participants using standardized methods of pain. Results from behavior tests revealed […]

CoREST1 in primary sensory neurons regulates neuropathic pain in male mice.

Epigenetic regulation is implicated in the neurogenesis of neuropathic pain. The repressor element 1 (RE1) silencing transcription factor (REST) corepressor (CoREST) proteins function as corepressors in the REST complex and/or […]

A Randomized, Controlled Neuroimaging Trial of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Fibromyalgia Pain.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by pervasive pain-related symptomatology and high levels of negative affect. Mind-body treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) appear to foster improvement in FM via reductions in […]

Contactless photoplethysmography for assessment of small fiber neuropathy.

Chronic pain is a prevalent condition affecting approximately one-fifth of the global population, with significant impacts on quality of life and work productivity. Small fiber neuropathies are a common cause […]

Chronic pain predicts a worse response to depression treatment, regardless of thyroid function or psychotropics prescribed.

Chronic pain (CP) and thyroid hormones’ (TH) abnormalities are associated with depression, but the impact of pain and TH fluctuation on the response to depression treatment is uncertain.

The Capsaicin Binding Affinity of Wild-Type and Mutant TRPV1 Ion Channels.

Vanilloids such as capsaicin and resiniferatoxin (RTX) are highly selective and potent activators for TRPV1, a nociceptor for heat and pain perception. However, the intrinsic vanilloid binding affinity, key for […]

A cholinergic circuit that relieves pain despite opioid tolerance.

Chronic pain is a tremendous burden for afflicted individuals and society. Although opioids effectively relieve pain, significant adverse outcomes limit their utility and efficacy. To investigate alternate pain control mechanisms, […]

Cryo-EM structures of human GPR34 enable the identification of selective antagonists.

GPR34 is a functional G-protein-coupled receptor of Lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS), and has pathogenic roles in numerous diseases, yet remains poorly targeted. We herein report a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of GPR34 […]

A multimodal sensing ring for quantification of scratch intensity.

An objective measurement of chronic itch is necessary for improvements in patient care for numerous medical conditions. While wearables have shown promise for scratch detection, they are currently unable to […]
