Do the instruments used to assess fibromyalgia symptoms according to American College of Rheumatology criteria generate similar scores in other chronic musculoskeletal pain?

As with fibromyalgia, several musculoskeletal disorders are characterized by chronic pain, raising a clinical question – do the instruments used to assess fibromyalgia symptoms according to ACR criteria (ACR criteria) […]

Brain targeting of zolmitriptan via transdermal terpesomes: statistical optimization and in vivo biodistribution study by Tc radiolabeling technique.

Zolmitriptan (ZT) is a potent second generation triptan, commonly administered to alleviate migraine attacks. ZT suffers various limitations; massive hepatic first pass metabolism, P-gp efflux transporters susceptibility, and limited (≈40%) […]

The role of purity and frequency in the classification of perimenstrual headache.

Among all menstruation-associated headaches, only menstrual migraine has classification criteria in the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition (ICHD-3). Other menstruation-associated headaches are not generally described. The ICHD-3 classifies […]

Over-expression of miR-3584-5p Represses Nav1.8 Channel Aggravating Neuropathic Pain caused by Chronic Constriction Injury.

Nav1.8, a tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) subtype encoded by SCN10A, which plays an important role in the production and transmission of peripheral neuropathic pain signals. Studies have shown that […]

No Evidence that Working Memory Modulates the Plasticity of the Nociceptive System, as Measured by Secondary Mechanical Hypersensitivity.

The effect of cognition on the plasticity of the nociceptive system remains controversial. In this study, we examined whether working memory can buffer against the development of secondary hypersensitivity. Thirty-five […]

Effect of voluntary exercise on endogenous pain control systems and post-traumatic headache in mice.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause acute and chronic pain along with motor, cognitive and emotional problems. Although the mechanisms are poorly understood, previous studies suggest disruptions in endogenous pain […]

PACAP6-38 improves nitroglycerin-induced central sensitization by modulating synaptic plasticity at the trigeminal nucleus caudalis in a male rat model of chronic migraine.

Chronic migraine (CM) is a common neurological disorder with complex pathogenesis. Evidence suggests that pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) induces migraine-like attacks and may be potential a new target for […]

SS-31 alleviated nociceptive responses and restored mitochondrial function in a headache mouse model via Sirt3/Pgc-1α positive feedback loop.

Migraine is the second highest cause of disability worldwide, bringing a huge socioeconomic burden. Improving mitochondrial function has promise as an effective treatment strategy for migraine. Szeto-Schiller peptide (SS-31) is […]

Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Indazole-Containing Enamides Relevant to the Synthesis of Zavegepant Using Neutral and Cationic Cobalt Precatalysts.

The cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of indazole-containing enamides relevant to the synthesis of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist, zavegepant (), approved for the treatment of migraines, is described. Both […]
