Stabilizing the neural barrier – A novel approach in pain therapy.

Chronic and neuropathic pain are a widespread burden. Incomplete understanding of underlying pathomechanisms is one crucial factor for insufficient treatment. Recently, impairment of the blood nerve barrier (BNB) has emerged […]

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 […]

Antimicrobial therapies for chronic pain (part 2): the prevention and treatment of chronic pain.

The discovery and development of antimicrobial therapies represents one of the most significant advancements in modern medicine. Although the primary therapeutic intent of antimicrobials is to eliminate their target pathogens, […]

Antimicrobial therapies for chronic pain (part 1): analgesic mechanisms.

There is increasing evidence that the relationship between chronic pain and infections is complex and intertwined. Bacterial and viral infections can cause pain through numerous mechanisms such as direct tissue […]

Therapeutic activity of lipoxin A in TiO-induced arthritis in mice: NF-κB and Nrf2 in synovial fluid leukocytes and neuronal TRPV1 mechanisms.

Lipoxin A4 (LXA) has anti-inflammatory and pro-resolutive roles in inflammation. We evaluated the effects and mechanisms of action of LXA4 in titanium dioxide (TiO) arthritis, a model of prosthesis-induced joint […]

Molecular determinants of TRPM8 function: key clues for a cool modulation.

Cold thermoreceptor neurons detect temperature drops with highly sensitive molecular machinery concentrated in their peripheral free nerve endings. The main molecular entity responsible for cold transduction in these neurons is […]

Morphine pharmacokinetics and opioid transporter expression at the blood-retina barrier of male and female mice.

Opioids are effective analgesics for treating moderate to severe pain, however, their use must be weighed against their dangerous side effects. Investigations into opioid pharmacokinetics provide crucial information regarding both […]

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 […]
