A Comparison Study Between Electrical Muscle Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Transverse placement of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) electrodes across muscle fibers elicits localized contractions, facilitating greater active stretching (AS) of regions containing myofascial trigger points. This EMS + AS approach mimics passive stretching, with EMS providing resistance force similar to that typically applied by a therapist's ...

Psilocybin as a novel treatment for chronic pain

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Psychedelic drugs are under active consideration for clinical use and have generated significant interest for their potential as anti‐nociceptive treatments for chronic pain, and for addressing conditions like depression, frequently co‐morbid with pain.

TRPA1 ion channel activation context‐dependently regulates gene expression in normal and psoriatic human skin

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Psoriasis is a chronic, relapsing, immune‐mediated inflammatory skin disease. The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) ion channel plays a protective role in the formation of psoriasiform skin reactions. Here, we investigated the pharmacological activation and blockade of TRPA1 in human skin (patho)physiology ...

Activation of peripheral NOP receptors reduces periorbital mechanical allodynia evoked by CGRP in mice

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Migraine is a neurovascular disorder largely mediated by calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP). This study explores the role of the nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ)–N/OFQ receptor (NOP) system in CGRP‐induced periorbital mechanical allodynia (PMA) in mice.

Pain pathways and mechanisms of neuropathic pain

open access: yesActa Neurológica Colombiana, 2007
Several neural steps are involved in the processing of noxious signals that can lead to the experience of pain. Nociceptors readily respond to different noxious modalities such as thermal, mechanical or chemical stimuli, but nociceptors do not respond ...

Sex-specific nociceptor modulation of the apical periodontitis transcriptome

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences
Introduction: Apical periodontitis (AP) is a painful disease that develops quickly following dental infections and is primarily characterized by robust inflammation surrounding the tissues of the affected tooth, resulting in disruption of bone ...

Optochemical modulation of corneal cold nerve terminal impulse activity with a photochromic ion channel blocker

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The functional organization of corneal cold nerve endings, critical structures in maintaining the ocular surface, remains poorly understood. Here, the photoisomerizable small‐molecule diethylamine‐azobenzene‐quaternary ammonium (DENAQ) was used to photomodulate activity of cold‐sensing nerve terminals in control and chronic tear ...
