Sleep has a homeostatic role in the regulation of the immune system and serves to constrain activation of inflammatory signalling and expression of cellular inflammation. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis […]
Learn More >Endogenous pain modulation in humans is frequently investigated with conditioned pain modulation (CPM). Deficient pain inhibition is a proposed mechanism that contributes to neuropathic pain (NP) after spinal cord injury […]
Learn More >The pathophysiological mechanism underlying chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP) remains unclear. Sensory neuronal hypersensitivity in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is essential for the onset and maintenance of chronic pain. Satellite […]
Learn More >Pain memory is commonly considered an underlying cause of chronic pain and is also responsible for a range of anxiety. Electroacupuncture (EA) has been shown to ameliorate pain memories and […]
Learn More >Endometriosis presents a pro-inflammatory microenvironment influenced by cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-8, which expression may be influenced by genetic polymorphisms. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of interleukin (IL)-8 […]
Learn More >Drug addiction is a devastating condition that poses a serious burden on the society. The use of some drugs like morphine for their tremendous analgesic properties is also accompanied with […]
Learn More >Electroacupuncture has an effective analgesia on chronic pain caused by lumbar disc herniation (LDH) clinically, however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In this study, we investigated whether electroacupuncture alleviated pain […]
Learn More >There is a major societal need for analgesics with less tolerance, dependence, and abuse liability. Preclinical rodent studies suggest that bifunctional ligands with both mu (MOPr) and delta (DOPr) opioid […]
Learn More >There is no effective treatment for peripheral nerve injury-induced chronic neuropathic pain (NP), which profoundly impacts the quality of life of those affected. Transmembraneprotein100 (TMEM100) is considered to be a […]
Learn More >Hunner-type interstitial cystitis (HIC) is a rare, chronic inflammatory disease of the urinary bladder with unknown etiology and genetic background. Here, we conduct a genome-wide association study of 144 patients […]
