Anti-NGF treatment worsens subchondral bone and cartilage measures while improving symptoms in floor-housed rabbits with osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disorder often affecting the knee. It is characterized by alterations of various joint tissues including subchondral bone and by chronic pain. Anti-nerve growth factor […]

Lomerizine inhibits LPS-mediated neuroinflammation and tau hyperphosphorylation by modulating NLRP3, DYRK1A, and GSK3α/β.

Lomerizine is a calcium channel blocker that crosses the blood-brain barrier and is used clinically in the treatment of migraines. However, whether lomerizine is beneficial in modulating neuroinflammatory responses has […]

MRGPRX2, drug pseudoallergies, inflammatory diseases, mechanisms, and distinguishing MRGPRX2- and IgE/FcεRI-mediated events.

MRGPRX2, a novel G -coupled human mast cell receptor, mediates non-immune adverse reactions without the involvement of antibody priming. Constitutively expressed by human skin mast cells, MRGPRX2 modulates cell degranulation […]

Variation in Endpoints in FDA Approvals for Acute and Preventive Migraine Medications: Striving to Compare Apples to Apples.

Variation in Endpoints in FDA Medication Approvals: A Review of Acute and Preventive Migraine Medications.

To assess the characteristics and extent of variation of the endpoints used in trials supporting FDA approval of medications treating migraine.

Dexamethasone Liposomes Alleviate Osteoarthritis in miR-204/-211-Deficient Mice by Repolarizing Synovial Macrophages to M2 Phenotypes.

We undertook this study to investigate the effects and mechanisms of dexamethasone liposome (Dex-Lips) on alleviating destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM)-induced osteoarthritis (OA) in miR-204/-211-deficient mice. Dex-Lips was prepared […]

The Neuropsychiatric Safety Profile of Lasmiditan: A Comparative Disproportionality Analysis with Triptans.

Migraine constitutes the world’s second-leading cause of disability. Triptans, as serotonin 5-HT receptor agonists, remain the first-line treatment, despite discouraged use in individuals at high cardiovascular risk. Lasmiditan, a selective […]

Onabotulinum toxin A block of the sphenopalatine ganglion in patients with persistent idiopathic facial pain: a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled, exploratory, cross-over study.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of injecting onabotulinum toxin A (BTA) towards the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) using the MultiGuide® in patients with persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP).

Topical capsaicin for the management of painful diabetic neuropathy: a narrative systematic review.

To investigate the potential benefit of topical capsaicin formulations. A narrative systematic review was employed. About 8% Capsaicin patches were found to significantly reduce symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Capsaicin was […]

Discovery of IACS-52825, a Potent and Selective DLK Inhibitor for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a major unmet medical need with limited treatment options. Despite different mechanisms of action, diverse chemotherapeutics can cause CIPN through a converged pathway─an active axon […]
