Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1991
In recent years, progress in the treatment of pain has been strongly influenced by new insights into the mechanisms underlying pain and nociception. The following article briefly reviews some recent reports which make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the structure and function of nocisensors, the neuropeptides involved in the nociceptive ...

Prostanoids in nociception and pain
Biochemical Pharmacology, 2007Prostaglandins are lipid mediators produced by cyclooxygenases from arachidonic acid, which serve pivotal functions in inflammation and pain. Inhibition of their production is the major analgesic mechanism of action of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-but also the source of most of their unwanted effects.

We describe a young woman with complete cervical spinal cord transsection, who developed significant abdominal pain, triggered by gastric distension and deep abdominal palpation. On the basis of the nature of her spinal cord injury, her brain-gut axis was limited to vagal pathways.
