Tachykinin receptor 3 in the lateral habenula alleviates pain and anxiety comorbidity in mice.

The coexistence of chronic pain and anxiety is a common clinical phenomenon. Here, the role of tachykinin receptor 3 (NK3R) in the lateral habenula (LHb) in trigeminal neuralgia and in […]

miR-26a-5p alleviates CFA-induced chronic inflammatory hyperalgesia through Wnt5a/CaMKII/NFAT signaling in mice.

Inflammation often leads to the occurrence of chronic pain, and many miRNAs have been shown to play a key role in the development of inflammatory pain. However, whether miR-26a-5p relieves […]

Role of nerve signal transduction and neuroimmune crosstalk in mediating the analgesic effects of acupuncture for neuropathic pain.

Neurogenic pain rises because of nervous system damage or dysfunction and is the most difficult to treat among other pathological pains. Acupuncture has been reported as a great treatment option […]

Bulleyaconitine A reduces fracture-induced pain and promotes fracture healing in mice.

A fracture is a severe trauma that causes dramatic pain. Appropriate fracture pain management not only improves the patient’s subjective perception, but also increases compliance with rehabilitation training. However, current […]

Electroacupuncture Alleviates CFA-Induced Inflammatory Pain via PD-L1/PD-1-SHP-1 Pathway.

Inflammatory pain is difficult to treat clinically, but electroacupuncture (EA) has been demonstrated to be effective in alleviating inflammatory pain. Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and its downstream signal, Src […]

Involvement of dopaminergic system in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in modulating the orofacial pain-related behaviors in the rats.

Chemical stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) induces analgesia by forming neural circuitries with multiple brain regions. The involvement of hippocampal dopaminergic receptors in the LH stimulation-induced antinociception in specific […]

Modeling spontaneous opioid withdrawal in male and female outbred mice using traditional endpoints and hyperalgesia.

Opioid withdrawal significantly impacts drug dependence cycles as hyperalgesia associated with withdrawal is often a reason for continued drug use. Animal models of addiction are important tools for studying how […]

Exogenous melatonin alleviates neuropathic pain-induced affective disorders by suppressing NF-κB/ NLRP3 pathway and apoptosis.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects of melatonin (MLT) on neuropathic pain (NP)-induced anxiety and depression in a rat model. Adult male rats were […]

Synchronized activity of sensory neurons initiates cortical synchrony in a model of neuropathic pain.

Increased low frequency cortical oscillations are observed in people with neuropathic pain, but the cause of such elevated cortical oscillations and their impact on pain development remain unclear. By imaging […]

Critical Pronociceptive Role of Family 2 Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels in a Novel Mouse Model of HIV-Associated Sensory Neuropathy.

Some people living with HIV present painful sensory neuropathy (HIV-SN) that is pharmacoresistant, sex-associated, and a major source of morbidity. Since the specific mechanisms underlying HIV-SN are not well understood, […]
