Gabapentin Prevents Oxaliplatin-Induced Mechanical Hyperalgesia in Mice
.: Oxaliplatin, a platinum-based chemotherapy drug, frequently causes acute and chronic peripheral neuropathies including mechanical hyperalgesia. These adverse effects hinder anticancer therapy with the drug.

Individual differences in pain sensitivity are associated with cognitive network functional connectivity following one night of experimental sleep disruption. [PDF]
Previous work suggests that sleep disruption can contribute to poor pain modulation. Here, we used experimental sleep disruption to examine the relationship between sleep disruption-induced pain sensitivity and functional connectivity (FC) of cognitive ...

An interleukin-33/ST2 signaling deficiency reduces overt pain-like behaviors in mice [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)-33, the most recent member of the IL family of cytokines, signals through the ST2 receptor. IL-33/ST2 signaling mediates antigen challenge-induced mechanical hyperalgesia in the joints and cutaneous tissues of immunized mice. The present

Intrathecal injections of non-peptide oxytocin receptor agonists, WAY 267,464 and TC OT 39, induce significant anti-hyperalgesia in both male and female rats with inflammatory pain [PDF]
Objective(s): Hyperalgesia is a clinical condition related to chronic pain in which patients experience increased nociceptive sensitivity. Intrathecal oxytocin has been shown to induce significant anti-hyperalgesia in both rodents and humans. However, in

Advancing the Understanding of Acupoint Sensitization and Plasticity Through Cutaneous C-Nociceptors
Acupoint is the key area for needling treatment, but its physiology is not yet understood. Nociceptors, one of the responders in acupoints, are responsible for acupuncture manipulation and delivering acupuncture signals to the spinal or supraspinal level.

Multicenter assessment of quantitative sensory testing (QST) for the detection of neuropathic-like pain responses using the topical capsaicin model [PDF]
Background: The use of quantitative sensory testing (QST) in multicenter studies has been quite limited, due in part to lack of standardized procedures among centers. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the application of the capsaicin pain model
