Prospective Blood Transcriptomics Study in a Motor Vehicle Collision Cohort Identified a Protective Function of the SAMD15 Gene Against Chronic Pain.

Traumatic brain injuries following motor vehicle collisions (MVC) are ubiquitous. Surprisingly, there are no correlates between concussion impact force and long-term pain outcomes. To study the molecular underpinnings of chronic […]

Chronic pruritus: from pathophysiology to drug design.

Pruritus, the most common symptom in dermatology, is an innate response capable of protecting skin against irritants. Nonetheless, when it lasts more than six weeks it is assumed to be […]

Inflammation and subsequent nociceptor sensitization in the bone marrow are involved in an animal model of osteoarthritis pain.

This study aimed to determine whether pathological changes in the bone marrow cause Osteoarthritis (OA) pain based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), immunohistochemistry, and electrophysiology.

Transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) mediates chronic pain and cytokine production in mouse models of inflammatory, neuropathic, and primary pain.

The origin of chronic pain is linked to inflammation, characterized by increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in local tissues and systemic circulation. Transforming growth factor beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) is […]

Regulation of Expression of Extracellular Matrix Proteins by Differential Target Multiplexed Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) and Traditional Low-Rate SCS in a Rat Nerve Injury Model.

There is limited research on the association between the extracellular matrix (ECM) and chronic neuropathic pain. The objective of this study was twofold. Firstly, we aimed to assess changes in […]

Temporal dynamics of electroencephalographic microstates during sustained pain.

Brain dynamics can be modeled by a sequence of transient, nonoverlapping patterns of quasi-stable electrical potentials named “microstates.” While electroencephalographic (EEG) microstates among patients with chronic pain remained inconsistent in […]

[Cardiovascular safety of new drugs for the acute and preventive treatment of migraine: gepants and ditans].

Migraine is a prevalent neurological condition characterised by disabling headache attacks. In recent decades, new drugs have been developed specifically for the acute and preventive treatment of migraine based on […]

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 […]
