chronic pain

Pain research has traditionally relied on animal models. Theodore Price studies human tissues to better understand pain disorders across age and sex.

Using a gene therapy approach, researchers relieved pain behaviors in mice and tested the approach in human cells.

Researchers identified a peptide that selectively blocks pain signaling in sensory neurons and packaged it into a viral-based gene therapy in a step towards treating chronic pain without the risk for addiction.

Nature’s most lethal chemicals offer a new road to pain relief.

Scientists identified a new sex-specific pain circuit in the brain, laying the groundwork for developing better pain-relieving drugs for both sexes.

Researchers have established a new sensory neuron model that could replace animal models
