TL;DR: The results of controlled trials and the clinical experience of the authors support the use of acyclovir, brivudin (where available), famciclovir, and valacy Clovir as first-line antiviral therapy for the treatment of patients with HZ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cannabis in painful HIV-associated sensory neuropathy A randomized placebo-controlled trial
Donald I. Abrams,C. A. Jay,Starley B. Shade,H. Vizoso,Haatem Reda,S. Press,Margaret Kelly,Michael C. Rowbotham,Karin L. Petersen +8 more
TL;DR: Smoked cannabis was well tolerated and effectively relieved chronic neuropathic pain from HIV-associated sensory neuropathy and an experimental pain model as discussed by the authors, which is comparable to oral drugs used for chronic pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gabapentin suppresses cutaneous hyperalgesia following heat-capsaicin sensitization.
TL;DR: The results suggest that gabapentin may prove effective in acute pain disorders involving neuronal sensitization, such as postoperative pain and acute herpetic pain, and could proveeffective in prevention of chronic pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new human experimental pain model: the heat/capsaicin sensitization model.
TL;DR: The heat/capsaicin sensitization model is a new human experimental pain model that synergistically combines non-invasive physical and chemical methods of nociceptor stimulation to produce stable and long-lasting hyperalgesia with a low potential for skin injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Voltage-gated sodium channel expression in rat and human epidermal keratinocytes: Evidence for a role in pain
Peng Zhao,Travis P. Barr,Quanzhi Hou,Sulayman D. Dib-Hajj,Joel A. Black,Phillip J. Albrecht,Karin L. Petersen,Elon Eisenberg,James Wymer,Frank L. Rice,Stephen G. Waxman +10 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that pathological increases in keratinocyte sodium channel expression may contribute to pain by increasing epidermal ATP release, resulting in excessive activation of P2X receptors on primary sensory axons.
