Toll-like receptor signaling adapter proteins govern spread of neuropathic pain and recovery following nerve injury in male mice. [PDF]
BackgroundSpinal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and signaling intermediaries have been implicated in persistent pain states. We examined the roles of two major TLR signaling pathways and selected TLRs in a mononeuropathic allodynia.MethodsL5 spinal nerve ...

Can the Neuropathic Pain Scale Discriminate Between Non-neuropathic and Neuropathic Pain? [PDF]
1) To determine if the neuropathic pain scale (NPS) can be used to classify chronic pain patients (CPPs) as having primarily neuropathic vs non-neuropathic pain, and furthermore; 2) to determine what, if any, cut-off score can be used to reliably make this determination.A total of 305 CPPs consecutive admissions to The Rosomoff Pain Center were ...

We established patient‐derived SWN cell lines and orthotopic PDX models that recapitulate patient pain phenotypes, alongside a novel intravital DRG imaging platform to track macrophage infiltration and neuronal pain responses. Using these models, we define HMGB1–CCL2–IL‐6 signaling crosstalk driving pain and identify EGF signaling as a key regulator of

NLRP3 inflammasome: a key driver of neuroinflammation and a novel therapeutic target for neuropathic pain [PDF]
Neuropathic pain represents a serious complication arising from a spectrum of disorders that precipitate lesions within the central and peripheral nervous systems. This disabling pain can persist for years, severely diminishing the quality of life of the

Disruption of nNOS-NOS1AP protein-protein interactions suppresses neuropathic pain in mice [PDF]
Elevated N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activity is linked to central sensitization and chronic pain. However, NMDAR antagonists display limited therapeutic potential because of their adverse side effects. Novel approaches targeting the NR2B-PSD95-

A Tac1‐Expressing Brainstem Pathway Underlies the Pathogenesis of Trigeminal Neuralgia
A critical TG‐Sp5CTac1‐PBNTac1 pathway drives trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP). Tac1‐expressing parabrachial nucleus (PBNTac1) neurons exhibit heightened responses to innocuous stimuli in TNP, and chemogenetic inhibition of these neurons effectively prevents TNP development.

Protein Kinases as Mediators for miRNA Modulation of Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain is a chronic condition resulting from injury or dysfunction in the somatosensory nervous system, which leads to persistent pain and a significant impairment of quality of life.

Use of anticonvulsants drugs for neuropathic painful conditions [PDF]
Neuropathic pain, a form of chronic pain initiated and sustained by an insult to the peripheral or central nervous system, is a challenge to clinicians as it does not respond well to traditional pain therapies.

Pain-motor integration in the primary motor cortex in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
In Parkinson's disease (PD), the influence of chronic pain on motor features has never been investigated. We have recently designed a technique that combines nociceptive system activation by laser stimuli and primary motor cortex (M1) activation through ...

Targeting the PDK1/c‐Myc/SOX10 Signaling in Oligodendrocytes Alleviates Neuropathic Pain
This work reveals that oligodendrocyte homeostasis, mediated by PDK1, is a critical determinant of neuropathic pain (NPP) pathogenesis. Disruption of PDK1 in oligodendrocytes impairs SOX10‐dependent myelination programs through c‐Myc accumulation, leading to disrupted myelination and the pathophysiology of NPP.
