Resiniferatoxin for Pain Treatment: An Interventional Approach to Personalized Pain Medicine.

The open pain journal

Iadarola MJ, Gonnella GL.
PMID: 26779292
Open Pain J. 2013;6:95-107. doi: 10.2174/1876386301306010095. Epub 2013 Mar 08.

This review examines existing preclinical and clinical studies related to resiniferatoxin (RTX) and its potential uses in pain treatment. Like capsaicin, RTX is a vanilloid receptor (TRPV1) agonist, only more potent. This increased potency confers both quantitative and qualitative...

c-Fos and pERK, which is a better marker for neuronal activation and central sensitization after noxious stimulation and tissue injury?.

The open pain journal

Gao YJ, Ji RR.
PMID: 19898681
Open Pain J. 2009 Jan 01;2:11-17. doi: 10.2174/1876386300902010011.

c-Fos, the protein of the protooncogene c-fos, has been extensively used as a marker for the activation of nociceptive neurons in the spinal cord for more than twenty years since Hunt et al. first reported that peripheral noxious stimulation...

Targeting TRPV3 for the Development of Novel Analgesics.

The open pain journal

Huang SM, Chung MK.
PMID: 25285178
Open Pain J. 2013;6:119-126. doi: 10.2174/1876386301306010119.

Decades of characterization of the transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) has led to the realization of its central role in thermosensation and pain perception. A large number of pharmaceutical companies have had interest in developing TPRV1 antagonists...

The Role of Suggestions in Hypnosis for Chronic Pain: A Review of the Literature.

The open pain journal

Dillworth T, Jensen MP.
PMID: 21686037
Open Pain J. 2010;3(1):39-51. doi: 10.2174/1876386301003010039.

Several controlled trials have demonstrated that hypnosis is an efficacious treatment for chronic pain. However, less attention has been given to the specific procedures and suggestions used in hypnotic treatments in research. The goal of this review was to...

Dual Roles for Endothelin-B Receptors in Modulating Adjuvant-Induced Inflammatory Hyperalgesia in Rats.

The open pain journal

Khodorova A, Zou S, Ren K, Dubner R, Davar G, Strichartz G.
PMID: 20559459
Open Pain J. 2009;2:30-40. doi: 10.2174/1876386300902010030.

Injection of endothelin-1 (ET-1) into the plantar rat hindpaw causes acute pain at high concentrations and tactile sensitization at low concentrations. The pro-nociceptive actions are driven through ET(A) receptors for both levels of [ET-1], but the ET(B) receptors are...

Neuron, Glia and Reciprocal Relationships in Pain Processing.

The open pain journal

Ren K.
PMID: 21179400
Open Pain J. 2009 Jan 01;2:7-31. doi: 10.2174/1876386301003010001.

Therapeutic potential of RNA interference in pain medicine.

The open pain journal

Tan PH, Yang LC, Ji RR.
PMID: 19966919
Open Pain J. 2009 Jan 01;2:57-63. doi: 10.2174/1876386300902010057.

In recent years RNA interference (RNAi) has rapidly become the most widely used tool for gene knockdown due to its high specificity and potency. RNAi is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism for silencing gene expression by targeted degradation of mRNA....

The Qualitative Hyperalgesia Profile: A New Metric to Assess Chronic Post-Thoracotomy Pain.

The open pain journal

Chi-Fei Wang J, Hung CH, Gerner P, Ji RR, Strichartz GR.
PMID: 24567767
Open Pain J. 2013;6:190-198. doi: 10.2174/1876386301306010190.

Thoracotomy often results in chronic pain, characterized by resting pain and elevated mechano-sensitivity. This paper defines complex behavioral responses to tactile stimulation in rats after thoracotomy, shown to be reversibly relieved by systemic morphine, in order to develop a...

Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Suppresses Activation of Sustained Potassium Currents in Rat Small Diameter Sensory Neurons.

The open pain journal

Liu BG, Dobretsov M, Stimers JR, Zhang JM.
PMID: 20165558
Open Pain J. 2008 Jan 01;1:1. doi: 10.2174/1876386300801010001.

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, produces pain and hyperalgesia by activating and/or sensitizing nociceptive sensory neurons. In the present study, using whole-cell patch clamp techniques, the regulation of potassium currents by TNF-α was examined in acutely dissociated...

Focal Inflammation Causes Carbenoxolone-Sensitive Tactile Hypersensitivity in Mice.

The open pain journal

Hanstein R, Zhao JB, Basak R, Smith DN, Zuckerman YY, Hanani M, Spray DC, Gulinello M.
PMID: 21151805
Open Pain J. 2010 Jan 01;3:123-133. doi: 10.2174/1876386301003010123.

A focal and transitory inflammation induced by injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) in the submandibular skin of mice elicits pain behavior that persists for several weeks after the initial inflammation has resolved. Chronic pain, assessed as tactile hypersensitivity...

A Mouse Model of Chronic Pancreatitis Induced by an Alcohol and High Fat Diet.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Study of acute pancreatitis in chemically-induced rodent models has provided useful data; models of alcoholic chronic pancreatitis have not been available in mice. The aim of the present study was to characterize a mouse model of chronic pancreatitis...

Microinjection of IL-1β into the trigeminal transition zone produces bilateral NMDA receptor-dependent orofacial hyperalgesia involving descending circuitry.

The open pain journal

Shimizu K, Chai B, Lagraize SC, Wei F, Dubner R, Ren K.

Open Pain J. 2009 Jan 01;2:76-83. doi: 10.2174/1876386300902010076.

Our recent studies indicate that the prototypic proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β is upregulated in astroglial cells in the trigeminal interplolaris/caudalis (Vi/Vc) transition zone, a region of the spinal trigeminal complex involved in trigeminal pain processing, after masseter muscle inflammation. Here...
