Moderate mechanical strain and exercise reduce inflammation and excessive autophagy in osteoarthritis by downregulating mitofusin 2.

The major pathological mechanisms of osteoarthritis (OA) progression include inflammation, autophagy, and apoptosis, etc. Moderate mechanical strain and exercise effectively improve chondrocyte degeneration by reducing these adverse factors. Mitofusin 2 […]

From Local Action to Global Policy: A Comparative Policy Content Analysis of National Policies to Address Musculoskeletal Health to Inform Global Policy Development.

Global policy to guide action on musculoskeletal (MSK) health is in a nascent phase. Lagging behind other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) there is currently little global policy to assist governments to […]

Prevalence of Chronic Pruritus in Elderly Black and White Inpatients: A Comparative Population Study.

Black and geriatric patients were reported in small scale studies to have more intense chronic pruritus (CP). Studies comparing itch across geriatric racial groups are lacking.

Altered functional connectivity of the thalamus and salience network in patients with cluster headache: a pilot study.

Previous studies have shown that the salience network (SN) and the thalamus are involved in cluster headache (CH) attacks. However, very little is known regarding the altered thalamus-SN functional connectivity […]

The Effect of Transcutaneous Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation on Pain and Quality of Life in Patients with Fibromyalgia: A Single-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) in reducing pain, improving quality of life, and decreasing disease severity in patients with fibromyalgia. This prospective, […]

A synthesis of meta-analyses of mindfulness-based interventions in pain.

Mindfulness interventions have become popular in recent decades, with many trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses of the impact of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on pain. Although many meta-analyses provide support for […]

Desktop Virtual Reality Offers a Novel Approach to Minimize Pain and Anxiety during Burn Wound Cleaning/Debridement in Infants and Young Children: A Randomized Crossover Pilot Study.

Although most scald burn injuries involve children under six, because of the challenges of using head mounted displays with young children there is very little research exploring the use of […]

Sex-related exacerbation of injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity in GAD67 haplodeficient mice.

Decreased GABA levels in injury-induced loss of spinal inhibition are still under intense interest and debate. Here, we show that GAD67 haplodeficient mice exhibited a prolonged injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity in […]

Unravelling Impaired Hypoalgesia at Rest and in Response to Exercise in Patients with Chronic Whiplash-Associated Disorders: Effects of a Single Administration of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor versus Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor.

(1) Background: Noradrenaline and serotonin have modulatory roles in pain signaling and in exercise-induced hypoalgesia. Patients with chronic whiplash-associated disorders often show impaired exercise-induced hypoalgesia. Therefore, this study aimed to […]

An anchor-tether ‘hindered’ HCN1 inhibitor is antihyperalgesic in a rat spared nerve injury neuropathic pain model.

Neuropathic pain impairs quality of life, is widely prevalent, and incurs significant costs. Current pharmacological therapies have poor/no efficacy and significant adverse effects; safe and effective alternatives are needed. Hyperpolarisation-activated […]
