Development of a pain education resource for people with spinal cord injury.

Many people with spinal cord injury (SCI) develop chronic pain, including neuropathic pain. Unfortunately, current treatments for this condition are often inadequate because SCI-associated neuropathic pain is complex and depends […]

Neuroimmune mechanisms of opioid use disorder and recovery: Translatability to human studies, and future research directions.

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a major current cause of morbidity and mortality. Long-term exposure to short-acting opioids (MOP-r agonists such as heroin or fentanyl) results in complex pathophysiological changes […]

Structure activity relationships of 5-HT and 5-HT serotonin receptor antagonists: N, C2 and 5′-Modified (N)-methanocarba-adenosine derivatives.

(N)-Methanocarba adenosine derivatives were structurally modified to target 5-HT serotonin receptors as antagonists, predominantly containing branched N-alkyl groups. N-Dicycloalkyl-methyl groups, including their asymmetric variations, as well as 2-iodo, were found […]

Current aspects of small extracellular vesicles in pain process and relief.

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have been identified as a noteworthy paracrine mechanism of intercellular communication in diagnosing and managing neurological disorders. Current research suggests that sEVs play a pivotal role […]

Neuroimaging in the pre-ictal or premonitory phase of migraine: a narrative review.

The premonitory phase, or prodrome, of migraine, provides valuable opportunities to study attack initiation and for treating the attack before headache starts. Much that has been learned about this phase […]

Adversity type and timing predict temporal summation of pain in African-American adults.

African Americans are disproportionately exposed to adversity across the lifespan, which includes both stressful and traumatic events. Adversity, in turn, is associated with alterations in pain responsiveness. Racial differences in […]

PACAP/PAC1-R activation contributes to hyperalgesia in 6-OHDA-induced Parkinson’s disease model rats via promoting excitatory synaptic transmission of spinal dorsal horn neurons.

Pain is a common annoying non-motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD) that causes distress to patients. Treatment for PD pain remains a big challenge, as its underlying mechanisms are elusive. […]

Evaluation and Treatment of Acute Trauma Pain in Older Adults.

In the context of an ageing population, the demographic sands of trauma are shifting. Increasingly, trauma units are serving older adults who have sustained injuries in low-energy falls from a […]

Utility of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Psoriatic Arthritis.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes a variety of musculoskeletal abnormalities. Musculoskeletal ultrasound in PsA is becoming increasingly popular, both in clinical practice and research. This […]

Mechanisms of initiation of cortical spreading depression.

There is increasing evidence from human and animal studies that cortical spreading depression (CSD) is the neurophysiological correlate of migraine aura and a trigger of migraine pain mechanisms. The mechanisms […]
