Decades of research have suggested that stimulation of supraspinal structures, such as the periaqueductal gray (PAG) and rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM), inhibits nocifensive responses to noxious stimulation through a process […]
Learn More >The molecular and functional contributions of intratumoral nerves to disease remain largely unknown. We localized synaptic markers within tumors suggesting that these nerves form functional connections. Consistent with this, electrophysiological […]
Learn More >Early phase diabetes is often accompanied by pain sensitization. In Drosophila, the insulin receptor (InR) regulates the persistence of injury-induced thermal nociceptive sensitization. Whether Drosophila InR also regulates the persistence […]
Learn More >Exercise for people with whiplash associated disorder (WAD) induces hypoalgesic effects in some, but hyperalgesic effects in others. We investigated the exercise-induced neurobiological effects of aerobic and strengthening exercise in […]
Learn More >Central poststroke pain (CPSP) induced by thalamic haemorrhage (TH) can be continuous or intermittent and is accompanied by paresthesia, which seriously affects patient quality of life. Advanced insights into CPSP […]
Learn More >Subdiaphragmatic vagotomy (SDV) is known to produce analgesic effect in various pain conditions including not only visceral pain but also somatic pain. We aimed to determine brain mechanisms by which […]
Learn More >Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (ITPR1) is an intracellular Ca release channel important for a number of fundamental cellular functions. Consistent with its critical physiological significance, mutations in ITPR1 are […]
Learn More >Pelvic pain in women with endometriosis is attributed to neuroinflammation and afferent nociceptor nerves in ectopic and eutopic endometrium. The hypothesis that uterine nociception is activated by IL-1β, a prominent […]
Learn More >Bone cancer pain (BCP) remains a clinical challenge due to the limited and side effects of therapeutic methods. Folic acid has been known as an FDA approved dietary supplement and […]
Learn More >Dental treatment associated with unadaptable occlusal alteration can cause chronic primary myofascial orofacial pain. The serotonin (5-HT) pathway from the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) exerts descending modulation on nociceptive transmission […]
