Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of pain on cognitive function: a review of clinical and preclinical research.

TL;DR: The anatomical, neurochemical and molecular substrates common to both cognitive processing and supraspinal pain processing are described, and the evidence for their involvement in pain-related cognitive impairment is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minocycline modulates neuropathic pain behaviour and cortical M1–M2 microglial gene expression in a rat model of depression

TL;DR: It is revealed that SNL-induced mechanical allodynia in OB rats was attenuated by chronic minocycline at almost all time-points over a 2week testing period, an effect observed only from day 10 post-SNL in sham rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglial P2X4R-evoked pain hypersensitivity is sexually dimorphic in rats.

TL;DR: The findings demonstrate the existence of sexually dimorphic pain signalling in rats, suggesting that this sex difference is evolutionarily conserved, at least across rodent species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognition and pain.

TL;DR: Progress has been made in understanding the complex relationship between pain and cognitive function, however, both synthesis of current research findings and further novel research studies are required to maximize the therapeutic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive Impairment in Patients with Chronic Neuropathic or Radicular Pain: An Interaction of Pain and Age.

TL;DR: This study supports and extends previous research indicating that chronic pain is associated with impaired memory and attention and specifically investigated the interaction effect of pain and age on cognitive performance.
