Enduring reversal of neuropathic pain by a single intrathecal injection of adenosine 2A receptor agonists: a novel therapy for neuropathic pain.

2 Nov 2009 Previous studies of peripheral immune cells have documented that activation of adenosine 2A receptors (A(2A)Rs) decrease proinflammatory cytokine release and increase release of the potent anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-10 (IL-10). Given ... Read more...

The effect of a thoracic spinal block on fos expression in the lumbar spinal cord of the rat induced by a noxious electrical stimulus at the hindpaw.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Fos expression in the lumbar spinal cord, resulting from a noxious electrical stimulus at the hindpaw, is hypothesized to originate from three sources: direct sensory input of the noxious stimulus, local interactions in the spinal cord, ... Read more...

Validity of electrical stimulus magnitude matching in chronic pain.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To examine the validity of the PainMatcher in chronic pain. DESIGN: Comparison of parallel pain estimates from visual analogue scales with electrical stimulus magnitude matching. PATIENTS: Thirty-one patients with chronic musculoskeletal ... Read more...

Technical Notes: general; prefer specific precoordinated locational pain terms, like ABDOMINAL PAIN; CHEST PAIN, etc.; / diag: consider also PAIN MEASUREMENT but PAIN / diag is probably PAIN / etiol; / ther: consider also PALLIATIVE CARE ( = pain relief without cure); / physiopathol: PAIN THRESHOLD is also available; chronic pain = PAIN (IM) + CHRONIC DISEASE (NIM): do not equate with PAIN, INTRACTABLE; congenital absence of pain = PAIN INSENSITIVITY, CONGENITAL
