A new study has found an old antipsychotic drug blocks a signaling pathway that has been linked to chronic neuropathic pain. The surprising findings not only point to novel future treatments for pain ...

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.

A new study in mice, carried out by researchers at Heidelberg University Medical Faculty Heidelberg, has helped illuminate how the brain’s primary motor cortex (a region known as M1) helps to suppress ...

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 ...

Neuropathic pain, resulting from disturbances within the somatosensory system, affects millions worldwide, significantly ...

For people suffering from the burning, tingling and shooting pain of neuropathy, current treatments are limited and often fail to bring lasting relief. But help may be on the horizon. Northeastern ...
