Gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort is a hallmark of most gut disorders and represents an important component of chronic visceral pain. For the growing population afflicted by irritable bowel syndrome, GI hypersensitivity […]
Learn More >Neonatal pain experiences including traumatic injury influences negatively on development of nociceptive circuit developments, resulting in persistent pain hypersensitivity in adults. However, the detailed mechanism is not yet well understood. […]
Learn More >Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a medically induced, rapidly occurring postoperative disease, which is hard to recover and seriously threatens the quality of life, especially for elderly patients, so it […]
Learn More >Traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors often experience debilitating consequences. Due to the high impact nature of TBI, patients often experience concomitant peripheral injuries (i.e., polytrauma). A common, yet often overlooked, […]
Learn More >Association between nociplastic pain and pain severity and impact in women with chronic pelvic pain.
Exploring the relationship between nociplastic pain and the severity and impact of pelvic pain symptoms could lend insight into the heterogeneous symptom presentation and treatment response that complicates management of […]
Learn More >The aim of this study is to investigate whether p66shc is involved in inflammatory pain and the potential molecular mechanisms of p66shc in inflammatory pain.
Learn More >Keratinocytes of the mammalian skin provide not only mechanical protection for the tissues, but also transmit mechanical, chemical, and thermal stimuli from the external environment to the sensory nerve terminals. […]
Learn More >Mechanical allodynia (MA) represents one prevalent symptom of chronic pain. Previously we and others have identified spinal and brain circuits that transmit or modulate the initial establishment of MA. However, […]
Learn More >The parabrachial to central amygdala circuit is a key mediator of injury-induced pain sensitization.
The spino-ponto-amygdaloid pathway is a major ascending circuit relaying nociceptive information from the spinal cord to the brain. Potentiation of excitatory synaptic transmission in the parabrachial nucleus (PbN) to central […]
Learn More >Almost 20% of patients with COVID-19 experience long-term effects, known as post-COVID condition or long COVID. Among many lingering neurologic symptoms, chronic headache is the most common. Despite this health […]
