Cancer itself, rather than chemotherapy alone, may contribute to the development of neuropathy some patients experience. Read More
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. Read More
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
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. 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
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
Blocking dorsal root ganglion pain neurons from releasing microRNA-21 has an anti-inflammatory effect at the cellular level, preventing neuropathic pain, researchers report. Read More
Duke researchers have discovered head and facial sensory neurons are directly wired into one of the brain's main emotional signaling hubs. Sensory neurons throughout the rest of the body are indirectly connected to the system. The findings help explain why head and face pains are more emotionally draining than other pains. Read More
A Cell Reports study identifies molecules that allow Schwann cells to help regenerate nerves. Read More
