Influence of Cannabinoid Treatment on Trajectories of Patient-Related Outcomes in Chronic Pain: Pain Intensity, Emotional Distress, Tolerability and Physical Disability.

The treatment of chronic pain with cannabinoids is becoming more widespread and popular among patients. However, studies show that only a few patients experience any benefit from this treatment. It […]

TET1-TRPV4 Signaling Contributes to Bone Cancer Pain in Rats.

Bone cancer pain (BCP) is excruciating for cancer patients, with limited clinical treatment options and significant side effects, due to the complex and unclear pathogenesis of bone cancer pain. Peripheral […]

Implementation of a Drug Screening Platform to Target Expression in Injured Mouse Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons.

Management of neuropathic pain is notoriously difficult; current analgesics, including anti-inflammatory- and opioid-based medications, are generally ineffective and can pose serious side effects. There is a need to uncover non-addictive […]

Diosgenin, a steroidal sapogenin, arrests arthritis through modulation of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress biomarkers in Wistar rats.

Diosgenin (DGN) is a well-known steroidal sapogenin that is obtained from the hydrolysis of dioscin. The current research aimed to explore the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic potential of DGN alone and […]

Microglial inflammation modulates opioid analgesic tolerance.

As we all know, opioids are the drugs of choice for treating severe pain. However, very often, opioid use leads to tolerance, dependence, and hyperalgesia. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms underlying […]

HSV-1 infection-induced herpetic neuralgia involves a CCL5/CCR5-mediated inflammation mechanism.

Herpetic-related neuralgia (HN) caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection is one of the most typical and common neuropathic pain in the clinic. However, the potential mechanisms and therapeutic approaches for […]

NMDA receptors at primary afferent-excitatory neuron synapses differentially drive chemotherapy- and nerve trauma-induced pain hypersensitivity.

The spinal dorsal horn contains vesicular glutamate transporter-2 (VGluT2)-expressing excitatory neurons and vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT)-expressing inhibitory neurons, which normally have different roles in nociceptive transmission. Spinal glutamate NMDA receptor […]

Izokibep: Preclinical development and first-in-human study of a novel IL-17A neutralizing Affibody molecule in patients with plaque psoriasis.

Psoriasis, an immune-mediated inflammatory disease, affects nearly 125 million people globally. The interleukin (IL)-17A homodimer is a key driver of psoriasis and other autoimmune diseases, including psoriatic arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, […]

Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides against dynamin-related protein 1 reduce remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia by modulating spinal N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor expression in rats.

Spinal N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation is attributed to remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia (RIH). However, the specific mechanism and subsequent treatment is still unknown. Previous studies have shown that the dynamin-related protein 1 […]
