Unraveling Chronic Pain: From Mechanisms and Risks to Diagnosis and Treatment

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
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 ...

Patient‐reported outcomes, postoperative pain and pain relief after day‐case surgery (POPPY): baseline data from day surgery practice in the UK

open access: yesAnaesthesia, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 477-488, April 2026.
Summary Introduction Most patients undergoing elective surgery in the UK are discharged from hospital on the same day. Despite this, there is a lack of UK patient‐centred outcome measures relating to quality of recovery, pain and analgesic use. The POPPY study was a UK‐wide prospective, observational study measuring short‐ and longer‐term patient ...

Xylazine test strip utilization among pregnant and postpartum women with opioid use disorder: A pilot study

open access: yesPregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Introduction The emergence of xylazine, a veterinary alpha‐2 and kappa opioid receptor agonist, as an adulterant in illicitly manufactured fentanyl has created new challenges and risks for pregnant people who use unregulated opioids. Xylazine test strips (XTSs) have been proposed as a harm reduction strategy, but their use has not been studied
