Pain Neuroscience news articles cover science research about pain receptors, nociceptors, nociception, sensory neurons, somatosensory cortex, chronic pain, acute pain, nocioceptors, musculoskeletal pain, therapies, phantom limb pain and other pain research.
Researchers reveal a neurotransmitter implicated in the itch sensation plays no role in the transmission of pain sensations.
Discovery could pave the way for new treatments for chronic pain in humans, researchers report.
Brinker-related transcription regulators play a key role in the formation of nociceptive sensation and could be a new target for pain-relieving medications.
Conolidine, a natural pain killer derived from the pinwheel flower and frequently used in Chinese medicine, interacts with a newly identified opioid receptor that regulates natural opioid peptides produced in the brain.
MRC1+ macrophages are dysfunctional in animal models of neuropathic pain. Stimulating the expression of the anti-inflammatory protein CD163 reduced signs of neuroinflammation in the spinal cords of mice with neuropathic pain.
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.
Compared to opioid use alone, co-use of cannabis and opioids to treat pain is associated with increased anxiety and depression symptoms in adults.
A new study reports the number of people reporting chronic pain is rising across every age group and demographic.
Exploring the relationship between emotion and pain in rheumatoid arthritis, researchers report emotions may function as a stressor, promoting inflammation and causing pain symptoms.
Researchers believe the newly understood mechanism could yield insights into more precise future treatments for nerve pain and depression.
