Neurocognitive effect of biased µ-opioid receptor agonist oliceridine, a utility function analysis and comparison with morphine.

Oliceridine (Olinvyk®) is a μ-opioid receptor agonist that in contrast to conventional opioids preferentially engages the G-protein-coupled signaling pathway. We determined the utility function of oliceridine versus morphine based on […]

Update of Gepants in the Treatment of Chronic Migraine.

Despite the unmet therapeutic needs of patients with chronic migraine (CM) and/or medication overuse, available treatment options are limited. Recently, four calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists, known as gepants, have […]

Psoriatic arthritis: improvement in outcomes but persistent sex difference – 5-year follow-up study of a Norwegian outpatient clinic population.

This study aimed to explore long-term changes in disease activity and remission rates, and potential sex-related differences in these outcomes, in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients treated in an outpatient clinic.

Therapeutic effects of 7- to 14-day subanesthetic ketamine infusions for chronic pain on standardized psychiatric measures.

We have previously shown that subanesthetic ketamine infusions effectively reduce refractory pain. However, the effects of ketamine infusions on comorbid conditions of depression and anxiety have not been explored in […]

Mitochondria-targeting nanozyme alleviating temporomandibular joint pain by inhibiting the TNFα/NF-κB/NEAT1 pathway.

Inflammatory cytokines that are secreted into the spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis (Sp5C) may augment inflammation and cause pain associated with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). In a two-step process, we attached […]

Potentiation of PIEZO2 mechanically-activated currents in sensory neurons mediates vincristine-induced mechanical hypersensitivity.

Vincristine, a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for treating different cancer, often induces severe peripheral neuropathic pain. A common symptom of vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathic pain is mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia. However, […]

Impaired lactate release in dCA1 astrocytes contributed to nociceptive sensitization and comorbid memory deficits in rodents.

Memory deficits are a common comorbid disorder in patients suffering from neuropathic pain. The mechanisms underlying the comorbidities remain elusive. We hypothesized that impaired lactate release from dysfunctional astrocytes in […]
