Migraine is one of the most common pain disorders and causes disability in millions of people every year. Delta opioid receptors (DOR) have been identified as a novel therapeutic target for migraine and other headache disorders.

Post-translational modifications of voltage-gated sodium channels in chronic pain syndromes. [PDF]
In the peripheral sensory nervous system the neuronal expression of voltage-gated sodium channels (Navs) is very important for the transmission of nociceptive information since they give rise to the upstroke of the action potential (AP).

Identification of Novel Pore Interactions for Selective Nav1.8 Inhibitors [PDF]
Nav1.8 voltage gated sodium channels are expressed predominantly in peripheral nociceptors, playing a key role in action potential propagation in these neurons. Nav1.8 knockout and antisense studies indicate that the channel has a major function in nociceptive processing in preclinical models of pain and histological samples suggest that Nav1.8 in ...

Nav1.7 and other voltage-gated sodium channels as drug targets for pain relief [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Chronic pain is a massive clinical problem. We discuss the potential of subtype selective sodium channel blockers that may provide analgesia with limited side effects.

Subtype-Selective Small Molecule Inhibitors Reveal a Fundamental Role for Nav1.7 in Nociceptor Electrogenesis, Axonal Conduction and Presynaptic Release. [PDF]
Human genetic studies show that the voltage gated sodium channel 1.7 (Nav1.7) is a key molecular determinant of pain sensation. However, defining the Nav1.7 contribution to nociceptive signalling has been hampered by a lack of selective inhibitors.

Aberrant subchondral osteoblastic metabolism modifies NaV1.8 for osteoarthritis
Pain is the most prominent symptom of osteoarthritis (OA) progression. However, the relationship between pain and OA progression remains largely unknown. Here we report osteoblast secret prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) during aberrant subchondral bone remodeling

Emergence of functional sensory subtypes as defined by transient receptor potential channel expression [PDF]
The existence of heterogeneous populations of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons conveying different somatosensory information is the basis for the perception of touch, temperature, and pain. A differential expression of transient receptor potential (TRP)
