Addressing the Usage of Peripheral Nerve Stimulation as a Treatment Option for Neuropathic Pain
Nonionotropic NMDA receptor activity enables reversal of pathological pain in mice
Current treatments for chronic pain tend to conceal and dampen nociceptive processing rather than target its root causes.
Non-pharmacological Skill-Based Invention as an Alternative to Reduce Opioid Use in Chronic Pain
Opioids are often used to treat non-malignant pain. However, it has been suggested that opioids are not any more effective than non-opioid treatments and could potentially be harmful in the short- and long-term.
Assessing the potential use of chairside ultrasonography in diagnosing masticatory myofascial pain syndrome
Masticatory myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by localized musculoskeletal pain in orofacial muscles such as the masseter and temporalis. In this pain syndrome, hyper-irritated nodules referred to as myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) cause local pain and mimic odontogenic pain when palpated.
