Acamprosate effect on neuropathic pain in rats: with emphasis on the role of ERK/MAPK pathway and SCN9A sodium channel.

Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain owing to nerve damage or diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). The expression of SCN9A, which encodes the Nav1.7 voltage-gated sodium channel and […]

Meta-analysis of the effects of anti-migraine therapeutics in the rat trigeminovascular nociception model as a tool for design optimization.

The main reasons for the low reliability of results from preclinical studies are the lack of prior sample size calculations and poor experimental design. Here, we demonstrate how the tools […]
