Unraveling Chronic Pain: From Mechanisms and Risks to Diagnosis and Treatment
Chronic pain arises through distinct molecular pathways categorized into nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic types. Nociceptive pain begins with TRP channel activation in peripheral nociceptors, signaling via Aδ‐ and C‐fibers through the spinal dorsal horn and spinothalamic tracts to the brain, regulated by descending inhibition and involving ...

Interestingly, this study shows that tendons spanned over 75% of the distal muscle belly in all muscles, crucial for the innovative tibiotalar agonist–antagonist myoneural interface (AMI) construction. AMI simulates natural muscle–tendon interaction in amputees, improving prosthetic control despite anatomical constraints.
