Acetic acid-induced pain elicits stress-, and camouflage-related responses in zebrafish: Modulatory effects of opioidergic drugs on neurobehavioral phenotypes.

Pain results from the activation of nociceptors following noxious stimuli and evidence shows a link between pain- and stress-related responses in mammalian organisms. In zebrafish, the activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) […]

Histochemical analysis of the biphasic properties of formalin pain-induced behavior.

The formalin test has been established as a method for evaluating mouse models of pain. Although there have been numerous reports of formalin-pain-induced behavior, few reports of a detailed histochemical […]

Increased Pyramidal and VIP Neuronal Excitability in Rat Primary Auditory Cortex Directly Correlates with Tinnitus Behavior.

Tinnitus affects roughly 15-20% of the population while severely impacting 10% of those afflicted. Tinnitus pathology is multifactorial, generally initiated by damage to the auditory periphery, resulting in a cascade […]

High intensity interval training attenuates osteoarthritis-associated hyperalgesia in rats.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a physical therapy that may benefit patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Cacna2d1 is a calcium channel subunit protein that plays an important role in the activity […]

Enhancement of mesenchymal stem cells’ chondrogenic potential by type II collagen-based bioscaffolds.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative chronic disease accounting for physical pain, tissue stiffness and mobility restriction. Current therapeutic approaches fail to prevent the progression of the disease considering the […]

Prospective Blood Transcriptomics Study in a Motor Vehicle Collision Cohort Identified a Protective Function of the SAMD15 Gene Against Chronic Pain.

Traumatic brain injuries following motor vehicle collisions (MVC) are ubiquitous. Surprisingly, there are no correlates between concussion impact force and long-term pain outcomes. To study the molecular underpinnings of chronic […]

Inflammation and subsequent nociceptor sensitization in the bone marrow are involved in an animal model of osteoarthritis pain.

This study aimed to determine whether pathological changes in the bone marrow cause Osteoarthritis (OA) pain based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), immunohistochemistry, and electrophysiology.

Escinosome thermosensitive gel optimizes efficacy of CAI-CORM in a rat model of rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis is among the most common disabling diseases associated with chronic inflammation. The efficacy of the current therapeutic strategies is limited; therefore, new pharmacological agents and formulation approaches are […]

Antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity of DW-1021, the ionic complex of pelubiprofen and tramadol, in rodents.

Although drugs such as acetaminophen, opioids, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), are commonly used for pain management, the side effects of these drugs such as hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, nausea, and vomiting, […]

STING controls opioid-induced itch and chronic itch via spinal tank-binding kinase 1-dependent type I interferon response in mice.

Patients receiving epidural or intrathecal opioids administration for neuraxial analgesia frequently suffer from an irritating itch. STING (stimulator of interferon genes), an innate immune modulator, is strongly implicated in pain […]
