Reduced analgesic effect of acupuncture-like TENS but not conventional TENS in opioid treated patients [PDF]
: Evidence from recent animal studies indicates that the analgesic effect of low frequency TENS is reduced in opioid tolerant animals. The aim of the present study was to compare the analgesic effect of conventional (high frequency) and acupuncture-like

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Neuropeptide oxytocin enhances μ opioid receptor signaling as a positive allosteric modulator
Oxytocin (OT) is a 9-amine neuropeptide that plays an essential role in mammalian labor, lactation, maternal bonding, and social affiliation. OT has been reported to exert an analgesic effect in both humans and animals, and the results of certain animal ...

Long-acting κ opioid antagonists nor-BNI, GNTI and JDTic: pharmacokinetics in mice and lipophilicity [PDF]
Background: Nor-BNI, GNTI and JDTic induce κ opioid antagonism that is delayed by hours and can persist for months. Other effects are transient. It has been proposed that these drugs may be slowly absorbed or distributed, and may dissolve in cell ...

Behavioural Effects and Naloxone Effectiveness With New Synthetic Opioids
ABSTRACT Introduction The global drug market has seen an emergence of potent synthetic opioids, including benzimidazole‐derived substances known as nitazenes. These compounds have been implicated in fatal and non‐fatal overdoses. This review aims to synthesise current evidence on the pharmacological effects, potency and naloxone responsiveness of new ...

ATHENA: A Phase 3, Open-Label Study Of The Safety And Effectiveness Of Oliceridine (TRV130), A G-Protein Selective Agonist At The µ-Opioid Receptor, In Patients With Moderate To Severe Acute Pain Requiring Parenteral Opioid Therapy. [PDF]
Background:Pain management with conventional opioids can be challenging due to dose-limiting adverse events (AEs), some of which may be related to the simultaneous activation of β-arrestin (a signaling pathway associated with opioid-related AEs) and G ...

Abstract Background The dental syndrome EOTRH is a painful, progressive dental disease with an unknown aetiology. The often painful nature of EOTRH emphasises the need for a better knowledge of the underlying pathogenic mechanism and risk factors. A comparative analysis of haematological, biochemical and endocrine values in EOTRH‐affected and non ...

Proliferation of the term “emotion dysregulation” in child psychopathology parallels the growing interest in processes that influence negative emotional reactivity. While it commonly refers to a clinical phenotype where intense anger leads to behavioral dyscontrol, the term implies etiology because anything that is dysregulated requires an impaired ...
