Inducible co-stimulatory molecule (ICOS) alleviates paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain via an IL-10-mediated mechanism in female mice.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a primary dose-limiting side effect caused by antineoplastic agents, such as paclitaxel. A primary symptom of this neuropathy is pain. Currently, there are no effective […]

Comparison of a One- versus Two-Week Treatment with Famciclovir Upon Reductions in Pain and Occurrence of Postherpetic Neuralgia in Herpes Zoster: A Randomized Open-Label Trial.

Herpes zoster (HZ) is an acute herpetic skin disease resulting from the varicella-zoster virus. Typically, this condition is treated with a one-week administration of antiviral drugs, including famciclovir, which can […]

PACAP-PAC1 receptor inhibition is effective in opioid induced hyperalgesia and medication overuse headache models.

Opioids prescribed for pain and migraine can produce opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) or medication overuse headache (MOH). We previously demonstrated that pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is upregulated in OIH […]
