Pregabalin attenuates long-lasting post-inflammatory nociplastic mechanical sensitization in mice.

Nociplastic pain, the most recently proposed mechanistic descriptor of chronic pain, is the pain resulting from an altered nociceptive system and network without clear evidence of nociceptor activation, injury or […]

Obesity, adipokines, and chronic and persistent pain in rheumatoid arthritis.

We aimed to determine whether adipokines are associated with pain and polysymptomatic distress in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over time in a large patient registry. The cohort study was […]

An electrophysiological method for evaluation of topical antipruritic drugs on itch-related neuronal activities in the spinal cord in hairless mice.

To evaluate the effects of antipruritic drugs, it is important to determine whether the neural responses induced by physiological itch stimuli are suppressed. Although there are several behavioral assessments for […]

JMJD8 regulates neuropathic pain by affecting spinal cord astrocyte differentiation.

The demethylase JmjC structural domain-containing protein 8 (JMJD8) has been demonstrated to be involved in cellular inflammatory responses. Neuropathic pain (NP) is a chronic pain, and it is unclear whether […]

Irreversible covalent Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor, TAS5315 versus placebo in rheumatoid arthritis patients with inadequate response to methotrexate: a randomised, double-blind, phase IIa trial.

To examine the efficacy and safety of TAS5315, an irreversible covalent Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) refractory to methotrexate.

Glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in the vLGN mediate the nociceptive effects of green and red light on neuropathic pain.

Phototherapy is an emerging non-pharmacological treatment for depression, circadian rhythm disruptions, and neurodegeneration, as well as pain conditions including migraine and fibromyalgia. However, the mechanism of phototherapy-induced antinociception is not […]

Verification of a clinical decision support system for the diagnosis of headache disorders based on patient-computer interactions: a multi-center study.

Although headache disorders are common, the current diagnostic approach is unsatisfactory. Previously, we designed a guideline-based clinical decision support system (CDSS 1.0) for diagnosing headache disorders. However, the system requires […]

First-in-human prediction of chronic pain state using intracranial neural biomarkers.

Chronic pain syndromes are often refractory to treatment and cause substantial suffering and disability. Pain severity is often measured through subjective report, while objective biomarkers that may guide diagnosis and […]

Adding tactile feedback increases avatar ownership and makes virtual reality more effective at reducing pain in a randomized crossover study.

Severe pain is a widespread health problem in need of novel treatment approaches. In the current study we used real water to give virtual objects (i.e., animated virtual water) more […]
