Current status and future directions of botulinum neurotoxins for targeting pain processing. [PDF]
Current evidence suggests that botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) A1 and B1, given locally into peripheral tissues such as skin, muscles, and joints, alter nociceptive processing otherwise initiated by inflammation or nerve injury in animal models and humans.

Postoperative Analgesia in Ultrasound-Guided 3-in-1 Block versus Fascia Illiaca Compartment Block in Adult Patients Undergoing Lower Limb Orthopaedic Surgeries under General Anaesthesia: A Randomised Clinical Study [PDF]
Introduction: Three-in-one block and Fascia Illiaca Compartment Block (FICB) are two peripheral nerve block techniques that target the femoral nerve, obturator nerve and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in a single injection. Both nerve blocks are used to

Occipital nerve stimulation for headache disorders [PDF]
Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) was originally described in the treatment of occipital neuralgia. However, the spectrum of possible indications has expanded in recent years to include primary headache disorders, such as migraine and cluster headaches ...

Endoneural selective stimulating using wire-microelectrode arrays [PDF]
In acute experiments eight 5- to 24-wire-microelectrode arrays were inserted into the common peroneal nerve of the rat, to investigate whether the electrodes could selectively stimulate motor units of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle.

A model of toxic neuropathy in Drosophila reveals a role for MORN4 in promoting axonal degeneration [PDF]
Axonal degeneration is a molecular self-destruction cascade initiated following traumatic, toxic, and metabolic insults. Its mechanism underlies a number of disorders including hereditary and diabetic neuropathies and the neurotoxic side effects of ...
