Trichloroethanol, an active metabolite of chloral hydrate, modulates tetrodotoxin-resistant Na channels in rat nociceptive neurons.

Chloral hydrate is a sedative-hypnotic drug widely used for relieving fear and anxiety in pediatric patients. However, mechanisms underlying the chloral hydrate-mediated analgesic action remain unexplored. Therefore, we investigated the […]

Hydrogel dressing integrating FAK inhibition and ROS scavenging for mechano-chemical treatment of atopic dermatitis.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disease caused by skin immune dyshomeostasis and accompanied by severe pruritus. Although oxidative stress and mechanical scratching can aggravate AD inflammation, treatment targeting […]

Piezo2 expressing nociceptors mediate mechanical sensitization in experimental osteoarthritis.

Non-opioid targets are needed for addressing osteoarthritis pain, which is mechanical in nature and associated with daily activities such as walking and climbing stairs. Piezo2 has been implicated in the […]

Effects of intrathecally administered interferon α on chronic constriction injury model rats’ mechanical pain threshold and G protein expression in the spinal cord.

The aim of the study was to explore the analgesic mechanism of effects of intrathecally administered interferon a (IFN-a) on chronic constriction injury (CCI) model rats.

Characterization of pain-, anxiety-, and cognition-related behaviors in the complete Freund’s adjuvant model of chronic inflammatory pain in Wistar-Kyoto rats.

Chronic pain is often associated with comorbid anxiety and cognitive dysfunction, negatively affecting therapeutic outcomes. The influence of genetic background on such interactions is poorly understood. The stress-hyperresponsive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) […]

Kinin B and B Receptors Activation Sensitize the TRPA1 Channel Contributing to Anastrozole-Induced Pain Symptoms.

Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) cause symptoms of musculoskeletal pain, and some mechanisms have been proposed to explain them. However, signaling pathways downstream from kinin B (BR) and B (BR) receptor activation […]

Effects of Nitric Oxide on the Activity of P2X and TRPV1 Receptors in Rat Meningeal Afferents of the Trigeminal Nerve.

Nitric oxide is one of the endogenous molecules that play a key role in migraine. However, the interaction between NO and the main players in the nociceptive activity of the […]

Microglia cause structural remodeling of noradrenergic axon in the trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis after infraorbital nerve injury in rats.

The dysfunction of descending noradrenergic (NAergic) modulation in second-order neurons has long been observed in neuropathic pain. In clinical practice, antidepressants that increase noradrenaline levels in the synaptic cleft are […]

LncRNA Kcnq1ot1 relieves neuropathic pain through downregulation of Myd88.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have already been documented to become the therapeutic targets for neuropathic pain. Here, this work focused on exploring the specific mechanism underlying Kcnq1 overlapping transcript 1 […]

Efficacy of Intra-Articular Injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A (IncobotulinumtoxinA) in Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis: A Three-Arm Controlled Trial in Rats.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are complex pathologies responsible for chronic orofacial pain. Intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) has shown effectiveness in knee and shoulder osteoarthritis, as well as in […]
