Qualitative Analysis of Patient Perspectives of Buprenorphine After Transitioning from Long-Term, Full-Agonist Opioid Therapy Among Veterans with Chronic Pain.

Guidelines recommend consideration of modification, tapering, or discontinuation of long-term, full-agonist opioid therapy when harms outweigh benefits; one alternative to tapering or discontinuing full-agonist opioids for the management of chronic […]

Second messenger signaling bypasses CGRP receptor blockade to provoke migraine attacks in humans.

There are several endogenous molecules that can trigger migraine attacks when administered to humans. Notably, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been identified as a key player in a signaling cascade […]

The Pharmacological Treatment of Neuropathic Pain in Children.

The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines neuropathic pain as pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. It is characterized as a […]

Galcanezumab in patients with episodic migraine: results from the open-label period of the phase 3 PERSIST study.

The phase 3 randomized PERSIST study demonstrated the efficacy and tolerability of galcanezumab, a humanized anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibody for prevention of episodic migraines. We present findings from […]

Inhibition of Brd4 alleviates osteoarthritis pain via suppression of neuroinflammation and activation of Nrf2-mediated antioxidant signaling.

Osteoarthritis (OA) pain remains a major clinical problem. It is urgent to identify novel therapeutic approaches for OA pain states. Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) protein inhibitors have robust anti-inflammatory effects […]

Brain circuits for maternal sensitivity and pain involving anterior cingulate cortex among mothers receiving buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder.

Opioid-induced deficits in maternal behaviors are well-characterized in rodent models. Amid the current epidemic of opioid use disorder (OUD), prevalence among pregnant women has risen sharply. Yet, the roles of […]

Identification and targeting of a unique Na1.7 domain driving chronic pain.

Small molecules directly targeting the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) Na1.7 have not been clinically successful. We reported that preventing the addition of a small ubiquitin-like modifier onto the Na1.7-interacting cytosolic […]

Pharmacological and Physicochemical Properties Optimization for Dual-Target Dopamine D (DR) and μ-Opioid (MOR) Receptor Ligands as Potentially Safer Analgesics.

A new generation of dual-target μ opioid receptor (MOR) agonist/dopamine D receptor (DR) antagonist/partial agonists with optimized physicochemical properties was designed and synthesized. Combining in vitro cell-based on-target/off-target affinity screening, […]
