Current status and future directions of botulinum neurotoxins for targeting pain processing. [PDF]
Current evidence suggests that botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) A1 and B1, given locally into peripheral tissues such as skin, muscles, and joints, alter nociceptive processing otherwise initiated by inflammation or nerve injury in animal models and humans.

Nocebo hyperalgesia and the startle response [PDF]
The literature on the effects of nocebo on pain is sparse. The present experimental study investigated whether suggestions of nocebo hyperalgesia modified the startle response and whether increased startle contributed to the nocebo hyperalgesic effect.A design with four groups was employed; the participants were randomized into either a placebo group ...

Influence of Working Length on Post-operative Pain after Single or Two-visit Endodontic Treatment: A Randomised Clinical Trial [PDF]
Introduction: Microorganisms in the cemental canal can lead to the development of periapical lesions and its mechanical removal by means of overinstrumentation may be more favourable for the success of endodontic treatment.

Conditional gene deletion reveals functional redundancy of GABAB receptors in peripheral nociceptors in vivo [PDF]
Background Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter which mainly mediates its effects on neurons via ionotropic (GABAA) and metabotropic (GABAB) receptors.

Morphine-induced hyperalgesia involves mu opioid receptors and the metabolite morphine-3-glucuronide
Opiates are potent analgesics but their clinical use is limited by side effects including analgesic tolerance and opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). The Opiates produce analgesia and other adverse effects through activation of the mu opioid receptor (MOR)

Lynch et al., identified novel targets on the wake‐promoting pathways that can effectively treat pain‐induced sleep disturbances. The authors demonstrated that Calcitonin gene‐related peptide‐expressing neurons (CGRP) in the external lateral parabrachial nucleus (PBelCGRP) serve as the primary relay node for pain stimuli that cause sleep disruption ...
