This study aimed to verify PRP injection safety and efficacy in LBP patients with Modic type 1. As a preliminary experiment, two LBP cases with Modic type 1 are presented. There were no adverse events ...
KEY FINDING: There were no adverse events in physical condition, laboratory data, or lumbar X-rays after injection, suggesting that PRP intradiscal injection is safe.
Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health, 2023 • January 4, 2023
This retrospective study analyzed data from 159 CRPS patients to identify epidemiological and clinical factors associated with the condition. The study population consisted mainly of women with an ave...
KEY FINDING: The study confirmed a higher occurrence of CRPS in females. The hand and wrist were the most commonly affected areas, followed by the ankle and foot.
Int. J. Mol. Sci., 2023 • March 11, 2023
This study investigates the potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to alleviate paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in rats. The research focuses on the TLR4-MyD88-NF-κB signaling p...
KEY FINDING: HBOT and TAK-242 alleviated behavioral signs of CIPN, specifically mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, in rats treated with paclitaxel and LPS.
J Control Release, 2023 • May 1, 2023
The study introduces an injectable hydrogel, Gel-Cur-M, loaded with curcumin micelles for treating chronic peripheral neuropathy in mice with chronic constriction injuries (CCI). Gel-Cur-M demonstrate...
KEY FINDING: The Gel-Cur-M exhibited superior functions compared to Gel and Cur-M alone, which includes ameliorating hyperalgesia while simultaneously improving locomotor and muscular functions after the nerve injury.
Biomedicines, 2023 • May 12, 2023
This study explores the therapeutic efficacy of heparin-based hydrogel micropatches containing human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) in treating neuropathic pain caused by nerve damage. Our results...
KEY FINDING: hASCs combined with heparin-based hydrogel micropatches enhanced nerve regeneration in a neuropathic pain animal model.
Neural Regeneration Research, 2023 • March 15, 2023
The study investigates the mechanism by which high-intensity swimming (HIS) alleviates chronic post-ischemia pain (CPIP) and neuroinflammation in a mouse model mimicking complex regional pain syndrome...
KEY FINDING: High-intensity swimming (HIS), but not low-intensity swimming (LIS), significantly alleviated mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia in CPIP mice.
Cureus, 2023 • July 31, 2023
Diagnosis of low back pain combines old and new methodologies, in particular, it involves an expanded role for ultrasound. Tumors and infections are rarely involved in low back pain but should be rule...
KEY FINDING: Autologous blood products like platelet-rich plasma are safe and effective in stimulating the body’s regenerative responses for musculoskeletal pain.
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2023 • August 6, 2023
Neutrophil-released NETs in the spinal cord contribute to pain development. FMD inhibits NETs formation and NETs-induced neuroinflammation by inhibiting the MAO-B/5-HIAA/GPR35 and MAO-B/ROS pathways i...
KEY FINDING: NETs accumulate in the spinal cord during inflammatory pain, exacerbating neuroinflammation.
International Journal of Surgery, 2024 • September 26, 2023
This systematic review and network meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions for reducing psychological symptoms in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). The ...
KEY FINDING: Mind body therapy, biopsychosocial approach, and physical therapy were effective in reducing depression compared to the control group.
Heliyon, 2023 • October 13, 2023
The study demonstrated that intravenously administered RIPCs significantly improved neuropathic pain symptoms, specifically thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia, in rats with partial sciatic ...
KEY FINDING: Intravenous administration of RIPCs was most effective in reducing thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia in rats with neuropathic pain.
