Clinical and Preclinical Evidence for Roles of Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase in Osteoarthritis Knee Pain (2022)
Journal Article
Gowler, P. R. W., Turnbull, J., Shahtaheri, M., Gohir, S., Kelly, T., McReynolds, C., …Chapman, V. (2022). Clinical and Preclinical Evidence for Roles of Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase in Osteoarthritis Knee Pain. Arthritis and Rheumatology, 74(4), 623-633. https://doi.org/10.1002/art.42000

Objective: Chronic pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) is a major clinical problem, and existing analgesics often have limited beneficial effects and/or adverse effects, necessitating the development of novel therapies. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) a... Read More about Clinical and Preclinical Evidence for Roles of Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase in Osteoarthritis Knee Pain.

Anxiety enhances pain in a model of osteoarthritis and is associated with altered endogenous opioid function and reduced opioid analgesia (2021)
Journal Article
Lillywhite, A., Woodhams, S. G., Gonçalves, S. V., Watson, D. J. G., Li, L., Burston, J. J., …Chapman, V. (2021). Anxiety enhances pain in a model of osteoarthritis and is associated with altered endogenous opioid function and reduced opioid analgesia. PAIN Reports, 6(4), Article e956. https://doi.org/10.1097/PR9.0000000000000956

Introduction: Negative affect, including anxiety and depression, is prevalent in chronic pain states such as osteoarthritis (OA) and associated with greater use of opioid analgesics, potentially contributing to present and future opioid crises....

Peripheral brain-derived neurotrophic factor contributes to chronic osteoarthritis joint pain (2020)
Journal Article
Gowler, P. R., Li, L., Woodhams, S. G., Bennett, A. J., Suzuki, R., Walsh, D. A., & Chapman, V. (2020). Peripheral brain-derived neurotrophic factor contributes to chronic osteoarthritis joint pain. PAIN, 161(1), 61-73. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001694

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the high-affinity receptor tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) have important roles in neuronal survival and in spinal sensitization mechanisms associated with chronic pain. Recent clinical evidence also... Read More about Peripheral brain-derived neurotrophic factor contributes to chronic osteoarthritis joint pain.

Cell type–specific super-resolution imaging reveals an increase in calcium-permeable AMPA receptors at spinal peptidergic terminals as an anatomical correlate of inflammatory pain (2019)
Journal Article
Woodhams, S. G., Markus, R., Gowler, P. R., Self, T. J., & Chapman, V. (2019). Cell type–specific super-resolution imaging reveals an increase in calcium-permeable AMPA receptors at spinal peptidergic terminals as an anatomical correlate of inflammatory pain. PAIN, 160(11), 2641-2650. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001672

Spinal hyperexcitability is a key event in the development of persistent pain, and arises partly from alterations in the number and localization of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA)-type glutamate receptors. However, determinin...

The impact of anxiety on chronic musculoskeletal pain and the role of astrocyte activation (2018)
Journal Article
Burston, J. J., Valdes, A. M., Woodhams, S. G., Mapp, P. I., Stocks, J., Watson, D. J. G., …Chapman, V. (2019). The impact of anxiety on chronic musculoskeletal pain and the role of astrocyte activation. PAIN, 160(3), 658-669. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001445

© 2018 International Association for the Study of Pain. Anxiety and depression are associated with increased pain responses in chronic pain states. The extent to which anxiety drives chronic pain, or vice versa, remains an important question that has...
