An incredible, first-of-its-kind trial testing the pain-killing properties of LSD microdoses has delivered the compelling suggestion that tiny, non-psychedelic doses of this infamous drug could serve as an effective analgesic.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading LSD microdose trial for acute pain relief reports “remarkable” results
An international team of researchers has homed in on a specific brain wave measurement that can effectively predict a person’s pain sensitivity. The research suggests this tool could be used to help doctors generate tailored treatment plans for patient… Continue reading Brainwave patterns can reliably predict a person’s pain sensitivity
Two medical imaging breakthroughs have been presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting. The technological advances demonstrate a PET/MRI approach to locate specific locations of chronic pain in a pati… Continue reading Imaging breakthrough pinpoints exact location of chronic pain
New research published in the European Journal of Pain is offering some of the first clinical trial insights into the efficacy of microdosing THC to treat chronic pain. The results of the small trial suggest minute doses of THC may confer clinically ap… Continue reading THC microdosing reduces chronic pain in world-first clinical trial
As some readers may already know, in-ear stimulation of the vagus nerve can help relieve pain in other parts of the body. Thanks to new research by Austrian scientists, such treatments could soon be more effective than ever.Continue ReadingCategory: Me… Continue reading Digital nerve map could be a shot-in-the-ear for pain relief
What drives pain and how it might be prevented in humans are complex questions demanding complex answers, but scientists at Duke University have come across a rather simple one, comparatively speaking. The researchers have discovered that a small regio… Continue reading Single off-switch found to dampen multiple pain centers in the brain

A new study published in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine describes the successful results of animal studies testing a novel experimental peptide designed to inhibit the receptors responsible for chronic neuropathic pain. The University of Copenhage… Continue reading Experimental chronic pain treatment looks to first human trials
Opioid pain relievers not only produce potential side effects such as nausea and constipation, but they can also be highly addictive. Australian scientists have therefore created what could be a better medication, that is made using tarantula venom.Con… Continue reading Tarantula venom finds use in non-opioid pain relief drug
A new study has tracked the potency of cannabis products across a number of American states, finding the majority of medical marijuana is stronger than it needs to be for pain relief purposes. The research suggests higher THC levels are unnecessary for… Continue reading Medical marijuana is stronger than it needs to be, study suggests
