Gene therapy that inhibits targeted nerve cell signals effectively improves symptoms of neuropathic pain without negative side effects in mouse models of spinal cord injury or peripheral nerve damage.
Researchers identify the mechanisms behind tricyclic antidepressants' ability to help relieve nerve pain.
A number of patients who contracted COVID-19 in the early months of the pandemic reported symptoms of neuropathy, including pain, tingling sensations, and numbness that lasted up to three months after recovery. The findings suggest COVID-19 may have lingering effects on peripheral nerves.
Do you experience frequent episodes of burning or tingling in your feet? You may be suffering from small fiber neuropathy, researchers report.
KLS-13019, a novel CBD analog, shows promise at reversing pain sensitivity and preventing symptoms of neuropathy in mouse models of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
Cancer itself, rather than chemotherapy alone, may contribute to the development of neuropathy some patients experience.
A newly developed peptide called Tat-P4-(C5)2 is targets and only affects nerve changes that pose a problem resulting in chronic pain. Previous studies have also shown the peptide can also reduce addiction.
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.
Intercepting CCL2 with specific antibodies may provide an early intervention for chronic neuropathic pain.
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics, such as Levofloxacin and Ciprofloxacin, appear to increase the risk of peripheral neuropathy by 47%. However, there is no significant increased risk of developing neuropathy associated with amoxicillin use.
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.
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.
