Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

Millions of people who live with chronic pain hear some version of the same dismissal: the scan looks fine, so the problem must be in your head. Neuroscience has spent the last two decades proving ...

Summary: Researchers mapped the precise brain pathway that drives the nocebo effect, the biological phenomenon where negative ...

Men and women experience pain differently, and until now, scientists didn’t know why. New research says it may be in part due to differences in male and female nerve cells. Pain-sensing nerve cells ...

Among veterans with low back pain, a sequenced care pathway and a pain navigator pathway demonstrate similar physical function outcomes.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This disease prompts the immune system to mistakenly attack body tissues, particularly joints, leading ...

Researchers integrated four organoids that represent the four components of the human sensory pathway, along which pain signals are conveyed to the brain. Stimulation of the sensory organoid (top) by ...
