Treatment for Opioid Dependence May Not Aggravate Pain
Treatment with buprenorphine-naloxone hydrochloride or extended-release naltrexone hydrochloride may not be associated with pain induction or aggravation of mild to moderate chronic pain.
Flunarizine May Be Safe and Effective for Episodic Migraine Prophylaxis
Flunarizine may be safe, effective, and well-tolerated as a prophylactic treatment for episodic migraine.
Mirogabalin May Be Safe, Effective on Postherpetic Neuralgia
Mirogabalin was found to be safe, well tolerated, and effective at alleviating postherpetic neuralgia-associated pain.
Pulsed Radiofrequency of Axillary, Suprascapular Nerves May Be Effective for Shoulder Pain
Pulsed radiofrequency targeting the axillary and suprascapular nerves under ultrasound guidance may effectively alleviate chronic shoulder pain.
OnabotulinumtoxinA Wearing off Common in Chronic Migraine Prophylaxis
A wearing off of responses to onabotulinumtoxinA during the first treatment cycle may be common in individuals with chronic migraine.
High Frequency TENS Beneficial in Chronic Low Back Pain
Daily use of a high-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device may reduce pain and improve function in patients with chronic low back pain.
Migraine Associated With Altered Neural Connections
Individuals with vs without migraine may have altered connections between the somatosensory cortex and the frontal lobe.
Reduced Paresthesia With DRG vs SCS Stimulation for Chronic Pain
Dorsal root ganglion stimulation for chronic pain may be associated with paresthesia with reduced coverage area, intensity, and frequency compared with tonic spinal cord stimulation.
Mechanisms of Posttraumatic Headache
Acute activation of meningeal mast cells may mediate chronic pain hypersensitivity in a rat model of mild closed-head injury, independent of calcitonin gene-related peptide peripheral signals.
