A national trial demonstrated that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy significantly improved mood, quality of life, and daily functioning in indivi ...

NYU researchers identified neuropilin-1 as a key co-receptor for nerve growth factor in pain signaling. The finding paves the way for safer, targeted treatments for chronic pain. Cellular research ...

The sciatic and pudendal nerves are located in the hip area and may become pinched. You may have pain when you move, or you may walk with a limp. The pain can feel like an ache, or it may burn or ...

When the nerve’s afferent fibers bring news of dangerous inflammation in the body, the brain sends signals back down the efferent pathways. These orders prompt the release of acetylcholine in ...

Neuropathy is nerve damage that often occurs in people with diabetes and as a side effect of chemotherapy. Treatment for neuropathy usually involves managing the condition that has caused it and ...

This lets your eye rotate away from the center of your body and look to the left or right. Sometimes called the abducent nerve, the abducens nerve is the sixth cranial nerve (CN VI). This nerve has ...

The LION technique involves the surgical implantation of electrodes on lumbosacral nerves to stimulate paralyzed muscles ... especially to the somatosensory cortex. These residual pathways, often ...

Some over-the-counter (OTC) topical creams, like lidocaine or capsaicin, may be helpful for nerve pain. Nerve pain is distinct from typical tissue pain. When you have tissue pain, like falling ...

Canada is set to introduce several new pathways to permanent residence in 2025. These new pathways present opportunities for eligible foreign nationals seeking permanent residence. Acknowledging the ...

In further cellular studies, the researchers discovered two mechanisms that explain the NRP1's role in pain. First, when binding to nerve growth factor, NRP1 increases the local concentration of ...
