Deep RNA-seq of male and female murine sensory neuron subtypes after nerve injury.

Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons have been well described for their role in driving both acute and chronic pain. Although nerve injury is known to cause transcriptional dysregulation, how this […]

Generalizability of nociception level as a measure of intraoperative nociceptive stimulation: A retrospective analysis.

Nociception-guided intraoperative opioid administration might help reduce postoperative pain. A commonly used and validated nociception monitor system is nociception level (NOL), which provides the nociception index, ranging from 0 to […]

RNA-Seq Reveals Sex Differences in Gene Expression during Peripheral Neuropathic Inflammation and in Pain Relief from a COX-2 Inhibiting Theranostic Nanoemulsion.

Given decades of neuroinflammatory pain research focused only on males, there is an urgent need to better understand neuroinflammatory pain in females. This, paired with the fact that currently there […]

Formalin-evoked pain triggers sex-specific behavior and spinal immune response.

Mounting evidence shows sex-related differences in the experience of pain with women suffering more from chronic pain than men. Yet, our understanding of the biological basis underlying those differences remains […]

Long-term deprescription in chronic pain and opioid use disorder patients: Pharmacogenetic and sex differences.

More than half of patients with opioid use disorder for chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) reduced their dose through a progressive opioid withdrawal supported by a rotation to buprenorphine and/or tramadol. […]

Potential sex differences in activation of pain-related brain regions in nonhuman primates with a unilateral spinal nerve ligation.

The lack of truly robust analgesics for chronic pain is owed, in part, to the lack of an animal model that reflects the clinical pain state and of a mechanism-based, […]

Neurobiology and long-term impact of bladder-filling pain in humans: a Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) research network study.

Pain with bladder filling remains an unexplained clinical presentation with limited treatment options. Here, we aim to establish the clinical significance of bladder filling pain using a standardized test and […]

Sex-specific metabolic profiling to explain the increased CVD risk in women with migraine: a narrative review.

Migraine is a disabling neurological disorder whose diagnosis is based on clinical criteria. A shortcoming of these criteria is that they do not fully capture the underlying neurobiological factors and […]

Gender bias in clinical trials of biological agents for migraine: A systematic review.

Migraine is considered one of the most disabling diseases. Currently, there are few studies on clinical migraine treatment based on sex-related differences, despite the important role of sex in migraine. […]

The glycine receptor alpha 3 subunit mRNA expression shows sex-dependent differences in the adult mouse brain.

The glycinergic system plays an important inhibitory role in the mouse central nervous system, where glycine controls the excitability of spinal itch- and pain-mediating neurons. Impairments of the glycine receptors […]
