Chronic Migraine Pathophysiology and Treatment: A Review of Current Perspectives

Tiffani J. Mungoven, Luke A. Henderson, Noemi Meylakh · 25 Aug 2021

Chronic migraine is a disabling neurological disorder that imposes a considerable burden on individual and socioeconomic outcomes. Chronic migraine is defined as headaches occurring on at least 15 days per month with at least eight of these fulfilling the criteria for migraine. Chronic migraine typically evolves from episodic migraine as a result of increasing attack…

Opioids and Chronic Pain: An Analytic Review of the Clinical Evidence

Stephen E. Nadeau, Jeffrey Wu, Richard A Lawhern · 17 Aug 2021

We conducted an analytic review of the clinical scientific literature bearing on the use of opioids for treatment of chronic non-cancer pain in the United States. There is substantial, albeit not definitive, scientific evidence of the effectiveness of opioids in treating pain and of high variability in opioid dose requirements and side effects. The estimated…

Mediators of Neuropathic Pain; Focus on Spinal Microglia, CSF-1, BDNF, CCL21, TNF-α, Wnt Ligands, and Interleukin 1β

Paul A. Boakye, Shaojun Tang, Peter A. Smith · 25 Aug 2021

Intractable neuropathic pain is a frequent consequence of nerve injury or disease. When peripheral nerves are injured, damaged axons undergo Wallerian degeneration. Schwann cells, mast cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes and epithelial cells are activated leading to the generation of an “inflammatory soup” containing cytokines, chemokines and growth factors. These primary mediators sensitize sensory nerve endings, attract…

Quantitative Sensory Testing Across Chronic Pain Conditions and Use in Special Populations

Kristen R. Weaver, Mari A. Griffioen, N. Jennifer Klinedinst et al. · 28 Jan 2022

Chronic pain imposes a significant burden to the healthcare system and adversely affects patients' quality of life. Traditional subjective assessments, however, do not adequately capture the complex phenomenon of pain, which is influenced by a multitude of factors including environmental, developmental, genetic, and psychological. Quantitative sensory testing (QST), established as a protocol to examine thermal…

Peripheral Voltage-Gated Cation Channels in Neuropathic Pain and Their Potential as Therapeutic Targets

Sascha R.A. Alles, Peter A. Smith · 13 Dec 2021

The persistence of increased excitability and spontaneous activity in injured peripheral neurons is imperative for the development and persistence of many forms of neuropathic pain. This aberrant activity involves increased activity and/or expression of voltage-gated Na + and Ca 2+ channels and hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide gated (HCN) channels as well as decreased function of…
