Activation of G-protein-coupled receptor 39 reduces neuropathic pain in a rat model.

Activated G-protein-coupled receptor 39 (GPR39) has been shown to attenuate inflammation by interacting with sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α). However, whether GPR39 attenuates neuropathic pain […]

Spinal TAOK2 contributes to neuropathic pain via cGAS-STING activation in rats.

Thousand and one amino acid kinase 2 (TAOK2) is a member of the mammalian sterile 20 kinase family and is implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders; however, its role in neuropathic pain […]

Changes in pain catastrophizing, fear-avoidance beliefs, and pain self-efficacy mediate changes in pain intensity on disability in the treatment of chronic low back pain.

Treatment of chronic low back pain (CLBP) based on the fear-avoidance model (FAM) has received support in randomized controlled trials, but few studies have examined treatment processes associated with treatment […]

The Influence of Pain on Reduced Quality of Life in Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Pain and itch are impactful and burdensome symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Elucidating factors associated with pain and itch severity may identify groups disproportionally affected by HS-related pain and itch […]

Abnormal preoperative fMRI signal variability in the pain ascending pathway is associated with the postoperative axial pain intensity in degenerative cervical myelopathy patients.

The moment-to-moment variability of resting-state brain activity has been suggested to play an active role in chronic pain.

Sexual dimorphism of the synovial transcriptome underpins greater PTOA disease severity in male mice following joint injury.

Osteoarthritis is a disease with sex-dependent prevalence and severity in both humans and animal models. We sought to elucidate sex differences in synovitis, mechanical sensitization, structural damage, bone remodeling, and […]

Electrical matrix stimulation suppresses acute itch independently of activation of sleeping nociceptors.

Itch can be reduced by pain. Activation of sleeping nociceptors (CMi) is a crucial mechanism for the peripheral component of intense and long-lasting pain. Thus, activation of CMi might be […]
