Three Longtime Antibiotics Could Offer Alternative to Addictive Opioid Pain Relievers

Three decades-old antibiotics administered together can block a type of pain triggered by nerve damage in an animal model, researchers report. The ...

Designer Cytokine Makes Paralyzed Mice Walk Again

Using gene therapy, a research team has succeeded in getting mice to walk again after a complete cross-sectional injury. The nerve cells produced the curative protein ...

Post-Surgical Patch Releases Non-Opioid Painkiller Directly to the Wound

A team of scientists has developed a bio-compatible surgical patch that releases non-opioid painkillers directly to the site of a wound for days and then dissolves away. The polymer patch provides a ...

Nerves That Sense Touch May Play Role in Autism

Autism is considered a disorder of the brain. But a new study suggests that the peripheral nervous system, the nerves that control our sense of touch, pain and other sensations, may play a role as ...

Post-COVID Pain or Weakness? Request an Ultrasound or MRI

A new study shows how advanced imaging technology can pinpoint what may have caused patients' nerve damage and help determine the best course of ...

Trigger That Leads to Faster Nerve Healing

Damaged nerves regenerate faster when protein clusters are broken apart, releasing mRNAs that can be used to rebuild the nerve. Scientists have found the trigger that could be used to accelerate ...

Speeding Up Nerve Regrowth for Trauma Patients

Researchers have found a treatment that increases the speed of nerve regeneration by three to five times, leading to much better outcomes for trauma surgery ...

New Genetic Cause of a Form of Inherited Neuropathy

Inherited mutations in a gene that keeps nerve cells intact was shown, for the first time, to be a driver of a neuropathy known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. This finding presents a clearer picture ...

Legal Cannabis Hemp Oil Effectively Treats Chronic Neuropathic Pain

Researchers examine the effectiveness of consuming hemp oil extracted from the whole cannabis plant using a chronic neuropathic pain animal model. Researchers showed that legal cannabis hemp oil ...

Unique 3D-Images Reveal the Architecture of Nerve Fibers

Researchers have used synchrotron light to study what happens to the nerves in diabetes. The technique shows the 3D-structure of nerve fibers in very high ...

Potential Treatment for Chronic Pain

Researchers have developed a new way to treat chronic pain which has been tested in mice. With a compound designed and developed by the researchers themselves, they can achieve complete pain ...

Spider Venom Key to Pain Relief Without Side-Effects

Molecules in tarantula venom could be used as an alternative to opioid pain killers for people seeking chronic pain ...

Whether Marijuana Helps With Pain Is Unclear

Medical marijuana users who say they have high levels of pain are more likely than those with low pain to say they use cannabis three or more times a day, a new study finds. However, daily marijuana ...

Repairing Stroke-Damaged Rat Brains

Researchers have succeeded in restoring mobility and sensation of touch in stroke-afflicted rats by reprogramming human skin cells to become nerve cells, which were then transplanted into the ...

Unearthing Gut Secret Paves Way for Targeted Treatments

Scientists have identified a specific type of sensory nerve ending in the gut and how these communicate pain or discomfort to the brain, paving the way for targeted treatments for common conditions ...

Engineered Botulinum Toxin Is More Potent and Safer in Mice

Botulinum toxin (BoNT) is used for a range of applications, but when injected it can diffuse into the surrounding tissue and give rise to adverse effects. A new study shows that a subtle modification ...

New Strategy for the Management of Inflammatory Pain

A group of researchers has discovered a new mechanism of long-lasting pain relief. The cell-signaling protein interleukin-4 induces a specific type of blood cell to produce endogenous opioids at the ...

Researchers have uncovered the mechanism by which Epo acts in nerve ...

'It's Like You Have a Hand Again': An Ultra-Precise Mind-Controlled Prosthetic

In a major advance in mind-controlled prosthetics for amputees, researchers have tapped faint, latent signals from arm nerves and amplified them to enable real-time, intuitive, finger-level control ...

Researchers End Decade-Long Search for Mechanical Pain Sensor

Researchers have discovered that a protein found in the membrane of our sensory neurons are involved in our capacity to feel mechanical pain, laying the foundation for the development of powerful new ...

Brain Inflammation in Veterans With Gulf War Illness

In a new discovery, researchers have detected widespread inflammation in the brains of veterans diagnosed with Gulf War ...

Higher Opioid Doses Fail to Lessen Pain

Researchers looked at prescribing data on more than 50,000 VA patients taking opioids and found that increased doses did not improve pain ...

First Treatment for Pain Using Human Stem Cells a Success

Researchers have used human stem cells to make pain-killing neurons that provide lasting relief in mice, without side effects, in a single treatment. The next step is to perform extensive safety ...
