Treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists is associated with significant weight loss and favorable headache outcomes in idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

In idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), sustained weight loss is the main pillar in modifying disease course, whereby glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RAs) could present an attractive treatment option.

Preventive treatment patterns and treatment satisfaction in migraine: results of the OVERCOME (EU) study.

Insights into the burden, needs and treatment of migraine from internet-based surveys in diverse real-world migraine populations are needed, especially at a time when novel preventive migraine medications are becoming […]

Impact of antidepressant medication on the analgetic effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment of neuropathic pain. Preliminary findings from a registry study.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been found to be effective in chronic neuropathic pain conditions. However, information about the combined effects of rTMS and antidepressant treatment is scarce. We […]

NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes and peripheral neuropathic pain – Emphasis on microRNAs (miRNAs) as important regulators.

Neuropathic pain is caused by the lesion or disease of the somatosensory system and can be initiated and/or maintained by both central and peripheral mechanisms. Nerve injury leads to neuronal […]

Mini-Review: Enteric Glial Cell Reactions to Inflammation and Potential Therapeutic Implications for GI Diseases, Motility Disorders and Abdominal Pain.

Enteric glial cells are emerging as critical players in the regulation of intestinal motility, secretion, epithelial barrier function, and gut homeostasis in health and disease. Enteric glia react to intestinal […]

4-Cyanamido-substituted benzenesulfonamides act as dual carbonic anhydrase and cathepsin inhibitors.

A set of novel N-cyano-N-substituted 4-aminobenzenesulfonamide derivatives were synthesized and investigated for their inhibitory activity against four cytosolic carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms (hCA I, II, VII and XIII) […]

Oral difelikefalin reduces moderate-to-severe pruritus and expression of pruritic and inflammatory biomarkers in subjects with atopic dermatitis.

Pruritus is the most common and burdensome symptom of atopic dermatitis (AD). Pruritus-targeted treatments in AD are lacking, particularly for patients with milder skin disease.

Difelikefalin suppresses itch and reduces scratching independent of inflammation in a murine model of atopic dermatitis.

Therapies specifically targeting non-histaminergic pruritus are largely lacking. Difelikefalin (DFK) has been found to reduce itch in various chronic pruritic conditions, including atopic dermatitis (AD).

mGluR5 from primary sensory neurons promotes opioid-induced hyperalgesia and tolerance by interacting with and potentiating synaptic NMDA receptors.

Aberrant activation of presynaptic NMDA receptors (NMDARs) in the spinal dorsal horn is integral to opioid-induced hyperalgesia and analgesic tolerance. However, the signaling mechanisms responsible for opioid-induced NMDAR hyperactivity remain […]
