Transplanting GABAergic cells derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells into mice resulted in safe, lasting, and effective relief from extreme neuropathic pain. Researchers hope to begin human testing within five years. Read More
Intercepting CCL2 with specific antibodies may provide an early intervention for chronic neuropathic pain. Read More
A research group at Hiroshima University observed a potential new target for chronic pain treatment. Further research using this receptor could lead to new, more effective drugs to use in pain-relieving treatment for chronic pain. Read More
Researchers have identified the structure of the human type 2 cannabinoid receptor. The findings, researchers say, can help in the development of new treatments for inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
Researchers report the sensation and emotional experiences of pain are not the same. A new study reveals neurons in the amygdala responsible for negative emotions associated with chronic pain. Read More
A new study reports transcranial alternating current stimulation could help treat chronic back pain. Researchers report tACs enhances alpha oscillations in the somatosensory cortex, reducing pain significantly. Read More
Researchers report THC oil may be beneficial in providing pain relief for those suffering radicular pain, such as sciatica. The study reports marijuana reduces connections between areas of the brain that process sensory signals and emotions. Read More
A new study reveals, in rodents, some spinal pain begins in the frontal cortex. Researchers say the findings could help in the development of new treatments for chronic pain. Read More
Researchers report abnormalities in brainwave activity could be a common link between depression, Parkinson's disease, tinnitus and neuropathic pain. Read More
According to a new study, a drug used to treat multiple sclerosis could help to treat pain caused by cancer treatments in myeloma patients. Read More
Researchers have developed a new method that appears to successfully help treat neuropathic pain in animal models. Read More
Researchers have developed a new method for testing for multiple sclerosis. Using blood samples, researchers look for lower concentrations of sphingosine and dihydrosphingosine, two compounds linked to the neurodegnerative disease. Read More
