Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

So when you touch a hot stove, the nerve endings in your fingers react instantly. But the ouch comes a split-second later, when that information finally reaches your brain. Well, now, scientists have ...

Men and women experience pain differently, and until now, scientists didn’t know why. New research says it may be in part due to differences in male and female nerve cells. Pain-sensing nerve cells ...

In a new discovery, chronic pain has been shown to be physiologically different from acute pain and now scientists have the roadmap for how to target it. Researchers from the University of Aberdeen, ...

Pain isn't just a physical sensation—it also carries emotional weight. That distress, anguish, and anxiety can turn a fleeting injury into long-term suffering. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Researchers have discovered that a particular molecular signaling pathway plays an important role in producing osteoarthritis (OA) pain. Using a mouse model of painful osteoarthritis, they show that ...

Researchers have uncovered a neural pathway preferentially involved in pain perception across species. The study was led by Profs. Tu Yiheng and Hu Li from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese ...

February 21, 2022 – For men undergoing surgery to repair scarring in the urethra (urethroplasty), a new approach to pain management can reduce the need for strong opioid drugs without compromising ...

Chronic pain associated with nerve injury and chronic bone pain from metastatic cancer are unmet medical needs. This sober assertion does not begin to capture the crushing and devastating impact of ...

Researchers integrated four organoids that represent the four components of the human sensory pathway, along which pain signals are conveyed to the brain. Stimulation of the sensory organoid (top) by ...
