Role of TMEM100 in mechanically insensitive nociceptor un-silencing

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Silent nociceptors remained enigmatic ever since they were first described decades ago. Here, Nees. et al. show that inflammation-induced upregulation of TMEM100 unsilences silent nociceptors, which triggers secondary mechanical pain hypersensitivity.

Pain threshold assessment in relation to neural mobilization therapy - 10.4025/actascihealthsci.v34ispec.11988

open access: yesActa Scientiarum. Health Sciences, 2012
Nervous System Mobilization is used to restore the biomechanics of the nervous system and adjacent structures, promoting the return to their duties. This study evaluated the pain threshold to pressure, to cold, and the cold pain intensity in healthy ...

Use of Capsaicin to Treat Pain: Mechanistic and Therapeutic Considerations

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2016
Capsaicin is the pungent ingredient of chili peppers and is approved as a topical treatment of neuropathic pain. The analgesia lasts for several months after a single treatment. Capsaicin selectively activates TRPV1, a Ca2+-permeable cationic ion channel

γδ T Cells Participating in Nervous Systems: A Story of Jekyll and Hyde

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
γδ T cells are distributed in various lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues, and act as early responders in many conditions. Previous studies have proven their significant roles in infection, cancer, autoimmune diseases and tissue maintenance.

Periosteal nociceptors induced hypotension and bradycardia under spinal anesthesia -A report of two cases- [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2011
The sudden hemodynamic disturbance in the perioperative period can occur because of various surgical and anesthetic reasons but hemodynamic collapse due to noxious stimulus of periosteum stripping has not been described.

The Pharmacology of Nociceptor Priming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Nociceptors and neurons in the central nervous system (CNS) that receive nociceptive input show remarkable plasticity in response to injury. This plasticity is thought to underlie the development of chronic pain states. Hence, further understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving and maintaining this plasticity has the potential to lead to novel ...

Nociceptors as chronic drivers of pain and hyperreflexia after spinal cord injury: an adaptive-maladaptive hyperfunctional state hypothesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2012
Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes chronic peripheral sensitization of nociceptors and persistent generation of spontaneous action potentials (SA) in peripheral branches and the somata of hyperexcitable nociceptors within dorsal root ganglia (DRG).

Cutaneous Neuroimmune Interactions in Peripheral Neuropathic Pain States

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Bidirectional interplay between the peripheral immune and nervous systems plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and responding to noxious stimuli. This crosstalk is facilitated by a variety of cytokines, inflammatory mediators and neuropeptides.

Nociceptor mechanisms underlying pain and bone remodeling via orthodontic forces: toward no pain, big gain

open access: yesFrontiers in Pain Research
Orthodontic forces are strongly associated with pain, the primary complaint among patients wearing orthodontic braces. Compared to other side effects of orthodontic treatment, orthodontic pain is often overlooked, with limited clinical management ...
