A possible role of the locus coeruleus in complex regional pain syndrome [PDF]
Heightened sensitivity to painful stimulation commonly spreads from the affected limb to the ipsilateral forehead in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

Nrxn3 reduces myofascial nociceptive pain. [PDF]
Neurexin 3 (Nrxn3) has a role in neuronal signaling. Previous reports indicated that reducing Nrxn3 expression in the central amygdala increased orofacial neuropathic pain. A common temporomandibular disorder is myofascial pain. Thus, we hypothesized that Nrxn3 would reduce myofascial hypersensitivity.

Capsaicin, Nociception and Pain [PDF]
Capsaicin, the pungent ingredient of the hot chili pepper, is known to act on the transient receptor potential cation channel vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1). TRPV1 is involved in somatic and visceral peripheral inflammation, in the modulation of nociceptive inputs to spinal cord and brain stem centers, as well as the integration of diverse ...

Pain-autonomic measures reveal nociceptive sensitization in complex regional pain syndrome. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Allodynia and hyperalgesia are common signs in individuals with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), mainly attributed to sensitization of the nociceptive system.

Anticipation of pain enhances the nociceptive transmission and functional connectivity within pain network in rats [PDF]
Background: Expectation is a very potent pain modulator in both humans and animals. There is evidence that pain transmission neurons are modulated by expectation preceding painful stimuli.

TRPA1 as a therapeutic target for nociceptive pain. [PDF]
Chronic pain affects approximatively 30-50% of the population globally. Pathologies such as migraine, diabetic neuropathy, nerve injury and treatment with chemotherapeutic agents, can induce chronic pain. Members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, including the TRP ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), have a major role in pain.We focus on TRPA1 as a ...

Serum Biomarkers of Nociceptive and Neuropathic Pain in Chronic Pancreatitis [PDF]
Debilitating abdominal pain is a common symptom affecting most patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). There are multiple underlying mechanisms that contribute to CP-related pain, which makes successful treatment difficult.

Anti- and Pro-Nociceptive Mechanisms in Neuropathic Pain after Human Spinal Cord Injury. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Deficient endogenous pain modulation and increased nociceptive excitability are key features of central sensitization and can be assessed in humans by conditioned pain modulation (CPM, anti-nociceptive) and temporal summation of pain (TSP ...

Fine-grained nociceptive maps in primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]
Topographic maps of the receptive surface are a fundamental feature of neural organization in many sensory systems. While touch is finely mapped in the cerebral cortex, it remains controversial how precise any cortical nociceptive map may be.

Consequences of altered eicosanoid patterns for nociceptive processing in mPGES-1-deficient mice [PDF]
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent prostaglandin (PG) E2 synthesis in the spinal cord plays a major role in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia and allodynia. Microsomal PGE2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) isomerizes COX-2-derived PGH2 to PGE2.
