Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropathic pain: aetiology, symptoms, mechanisms, and management

TL;DR: This work highlights current theories about peripheral neuropathic pain and shows that progress in management is contingent on targeting treatment not at the aetiological factors or the symptoms but at the mechanisms that operate to produce the symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurotrophins: Peripherally and centrally acting modulators of tactile stimulus-induced inflammatory pain hypersensitivity

TL;DR: BDNF, by virtue of its nerve growth factor regulation in sensory neurons including novel expression in A fibers, has a role as a central modulator of tactile stimulus-induced inflammatory pain hypersensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two sodium channels contribute to the TTX-R sodium current in primary sensory neurons.

TL;DR: It is shown that SNS2 expression in HEK293T cells produced a TTX-R voltage-gated sodium current with faster kinetics and a lower TTX IC50 than the previously cloned sensory-neuron-specific sodium channel, SNS/PN3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity of expression of the sensory neuron-specific TTX-resistant voltage-gated sodium ion channels SNS and SNS2

TL;DR: The differential distribution of two tetrodotoxin resistant (TTXr) voltage-gated sodium channels SNS (PN3) and SNS2 (NaN) in rat primary sensory neurons has been investigated and at least four different classes of A- and C-fiber DRG neurons exist, therefore, with respect to expression of these sodium channels.
