Metoclopramide Loaded Buccal Films for Potential Treatment of Migraine Symptoms: In Vitro and In Vivo Study.

Vomiting is a common symptom associated with migraine. Metoclopramide (MCP) is used as an effective treatment for managing the pain of migraine attack and vomiting. Buccal films loaded with MCP […]

Microglia are involved in regulating histamine-dependent and non-dependent itch transmissions with distinguished signal pathways.

Although itch and pain have many similarities, they are completely different in perceptual experience and behavioral response. In recent years, we have a deep understanding of the neural pathways of […]

TRPA1 activation and Hsp90 inhibition synergistically downregulate macrophage activation and inflammatory responses in vitro.

Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels are known to be actively involved in various pathophysiological conditions, including neuronal inflammation, neuropathic pain, and various immunological responses. Heat shock protein 90 […]

Perampanel ameliorates nitroglycerin-induced migraine through inhibition of the cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway in the trigeminal ganglion in rats.

Perampanel, a highly selective glutamate AMPA receptor antagonist, is widely used to treat epilepsy. Since the existence of common pathophysiological features between epilepsy and migraine, the aim of this study […]

Activation of the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor and Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein kinase IIαSignal in the Rostral Anterior Cingulate Cortex is Involved in Pain-Related Aversion in Rats with Peripheral Nerve Injury.

The rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) of rat brain is associated with pain-related emotions. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) […]

Decreased expression of hyaluronan synthase and loss of hyaluronan-rich cells in the anterior tibial fascia of the rat model of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Previous studies on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) have focused on neuronal damage. Although some studies have revealed that the fascia is an important sensory organ, currently, we do not know […]

Inflammatory pain affects alcohol intake in a dose-dependent manner in male rats in the intermittent access model.

Epidemiological studies have shown that there is a relation between pain and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Persistent pain is directly correlated with an increment in alcohol consumption and an increased […]

Increased nociceptive behaviors and spinal c-Fos expression in the formalin test in a rat repeated cold stress model.

Repeated cold stress (RCS) can trigger the development of fibromyalgia (FM)-like symptoms, including persistent deep-tissue pain, although nociceptive changes to the skin have not been fully characterized. Using a rat […]

Nicorandil/morphine crosstalk accounts for antinociception and hepatoprotection in hepatic fibrosis in rats: Distinct roles of opioid/cGMP and NO/KATP pathways.

Previous report indicated that nicorandil potentiated morphine antinociception and attenuated hepatic injury in liver fibrotic rats. Herein, the underlying mechanisms of nicorandil/morphine interaction were investigated using pharmacological, biochemical, histopathological, and […]

Injection of kaolin/carrageenan in the rat knee joint induces progressive experimental knee osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common joint disorder worldwide, is characterized by progressive degeneration of articular and periarticular structures, leading to physical and emotional impairments that greatly affect the quality of […]
