Antihyperalgesic effect of joint mobilization requires Cav3.2 calcium channels.

The present study was undertaken to explore the relative contributions of Cav3.2 T-type channels to mediating the antihyperalgesic activity of joint manipulation (JM) therapy. We used the chronic constriction injury model […]

Identifying Stress-Exacerbated Thermal-Injury Induced microRNAs.

Using a model of Combat and Operational Stress Reaction (COSR), our lab recently showed that exposure to an unpredictable combat stress (UPCS) procedure prior to a thermal injury increases pain […]

The effect of sex and estrus cycle stage on optogenetic spreading depression induced migraine-like pain phenotypes.

Migraine is more prevalent in females, raising the possibility that sex and gonadal hormones modulate migraine. We recently demonstrated that minimally invasive optogenetic spreading depolarization (opto-SD) elicits robust periorbital allodynia. […]

Prescription Opioid Initiation for Neuropathy, Headache, and Low Back Pain: A US population-based Medicare study.

Neuropathy, headache, and low back pain (LBP) are common conditions requiring pain management. Yet little is known regarding whether access to specialists impacts opioid prescribing. We aimed to identify factors […]

Effectiveness and safety of high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency to treat patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled study.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating pain disorder that still lacks an ideal treatment option. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF), especially with high output voltage, is a novel and minimally invasive technique. […]

Animal Models of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A Scoping Review.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) leads to a debilitating chronic pain condition. The lack of cause, etiology, and treatment for CRPS has been widely explored in animal models.

Calretinin-expressing islet cells are a source of pre- and post-synaptic inhibition of non-peptidergic nociceptor input to the mouse spinal cord.

Unmyelinated non-peptidergic nociceptors (NP afferents) arborise in lamina II of the spinal cord and receive GABAergic axoaxonic synapses, which mediate presynaptic inhibition. However, until now the source of this axoaxonic […]

A female-specific role for trigeminal dynorphin in orofacial pain comorbidity.

Migraine is commonly reported in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), but little is known about the mechanisms underlying the comorbid condition. Here, we prepared a mouse model to investigate this […]

Subcortical brain anatomy as a potential biomarker of persistent pain after total knee replacement in osteoarthritis.

The neural mechanisms for the persistence of pain after a technically successful arthroplasty in osteoarthritis (OA) remain minimally studied, and direct evidence of the brain as a predisposing factor for […]

The intersection of drug use discrimination and racial discrimination in the management of chronic non-cancer pain in United States primary care safety-net clinics: Implications for healthcare system and clinic-level changes.

Clinicians’ bias related to patients’ race and substance use history play a role in pain management. However, patients’ or clinicians’ understandings about discriminatory practices and the structural factors that contribute […]
