Read MoreGender Bias and Genotype Influence on Opioid Safety Profile in Chronic Low Back Pain.
The use of opioids to relieve pain is a challenge because of the high variability in dose requirements and tolerance profiles. Amongst potential modulators are individual’s genetic background as well as being female. Our...
Read MorePain-related behaviors associated with persistence of mechanical hyperalgesia post antigen-induced arthritis in rats.
Upon transient musculoskeletal diseases, some patients develop persistent pain while others recover from pain. Here we studied whether such heterogeneity also occurs in rats after recovery from unilateral antigen-induced...
Read MoreActivation of EphB receptors contributes to primary sensory neuron excitability by facilitating Ca2+ influx directly or through Src kinase-mediated NMDA receptor phosphorylation.
EphrinB-EphB receptor tyrosine kinases have been demonstrated to play important roles in pain processing after peripheral nerve injury. We have previously reported that ephrinB-EphB receptor signaling can regulate excitability...
Read MoreLearning mechanisms in nocebo hyperalgesia: the role of conditioning and extinction processes.
Nocebo hyperalgesia is a clinically relevant phenomenon and may be formed as a result of associative learning, implemented by classical conditioning. This study explored for the first time distinct nocebo conditioning methods...
Read MoreIndividual variability and sex differences in conditioned pain modulation and the impact of resilience, and conditioning stimulus pain unpleasantness and salience.
Distinct pain experiences are shaped both by personal attributes and characteristics of noxious stimuli. An individual’s capacity for endogenous pain inhibition (reflected by conditioned pain modulation (CPM)), their...
