The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) invites members of the media to attend the 2025 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place April 25鈥�28, 2025, in Boston.
A study from the George Washington University unveils insights into the treatment experiences and perceptions of people living with a significantly disabling chronic inflammatory skin conditio
recent study conducted across nine Iowa hospitals has shown promising results in reducing postoperative opioid prescriptions by implementing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways. The study, led by researchers from the Rothman Opioid Foundation, Goldfinch Health, and Drexel University College of Medicine, examined the impact of ERAS protocols on opioid prescribing to patients undergoing arthroplasty (joint replacement surgery) and arthroscopy (a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat joint issues). Arthroplasty involves replacing damaged joints with prosthetic implants to relieve pain and restore function, whereas arthroscopy utilizes a small camera to examine and repair joint damage through small incisions.
Young adults in pain start using cannabis earlier and are more likely to mix it with alcohol, according to new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York.
A recent study has revealed how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) intensifies ulcerative colitis (UC), a debilitating inflammatory bowel disease. Researchers discovered that EBV infection triggers macrophage pyroptosis鈥攁 form of inflammatory cell death鈥攂y accelerating glycolysis, a key metabolic pathway.
A University of Miami doctor of physical therapy explains what it is and what we can do to alleviate its symptoms.
A recent study has unveiled the pivotal role of Ferroptosis Suppressor Protein 1 (FSP1) in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), a primary cause of chronic lower back pain. Researchers discovered that FSP1, when upregulated by the inflammatory cytokine TNF伪, accelerates disc degeneration through caspase 3-dependent apoptosis and mitochondrial damage. This finding positions FSP1 as a promising therapeutic target for IDD, potentially offering relief to millions suffering from persistent back pain.
Who鈥檚 at risk for sore feet, why foot pain can start, how to prevent it, and what to do if it arises
In a new study, an international team of neuroscientists led by the University of Vienna has shown that experiencing nature can alleviate acute physical pain. Surprisingly, simply watching nature videos was enough to relieve pain. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, the researchers found that acute pain was rated as less intense and unpleasant when watching nature videos 鈥� along with a reduction in brain activity associated with pain. The results suggest that nature-based therapies can be used as promising complementary approaches to pain management. The study was recently published in the renowned journal Nature Communications.
The Endometriosis CARE Act, which was introduced in 2022, seeks to deliver $50 million annually to advance research and expand access to treatment for this condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing pain, heavy periods and potential fertility issues.
A novel analysis of more than 375 published studies concluded that the association between chronic pain and rates of depression and anxiety is staggering. The study, led by investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine found that 40% of adults with chronic pain experienced 鈥渃linically significant depression and anxiety.鈥� Among those most at risk, the analysis showed, were women, younger adults and people with fibromyalgia.
Male and female rats with a chronic pain condition release different amounts of dopamine when given fentanyl because of sex hormones, according to a new study from WashU Medicine. The findings might help explain why men have higher rates of opioid use and overdose deaths.
Living with osteoarthritis not only affects a person鈥檚 quality of life but can greatly impact their spouse鈥檚 quality of life.
Experts from the Cedars-Sinai Department of Orthopaedics are attending and presenting research at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting March 10-14 in San Diego.
Researchers at WashU Medicine and Stanford University developed a compound that relieves pain in mice but doesn't affect the brain, thereby avoiding mind-altering side effects and abuse potential. The custom-designed molecule, derived from cannabis, may provide an alternative to opioids for treating chronic pain.
The ASRA Pain Medicine 2025 Resident/Fellow of the Year will be awarded to Mohammed M. A. Hakim, MD, a chronic pain fellow at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH.
