Neuropathic Pain: A Maladaptive Response of the Nervous System to Damage

TL;DR: Treatment needs to move from merely suppressing symptoms to a disease-modifying strategy aimed at both preventing maladaptive plasticity and reducing intrinsic risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neuropathic pain triad: neurons, immune cells and glia

TL;DR: Immunosuppression and blockade of the reciprocal signaling pathways between neuronal and non-neuronal cells offer new opportunities for disease modification and more successful management of pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Partial Peripheral Nerve Injury Promotes a Selective Loss of GABAergic Inhibition in the Superficial Dorsal Horn of the Spinal Cord

TL;DR: Partial nerve injury decreases dorsal horn levels of the GABA synthesizing enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase and induces neuronal apoptosis, which could reduce presynaptic GABA levels and promote a functional loss of GABAergic transmission in the superficial dorsal horn.
