Men get more relief than women do from painkillers like morphine, according to some studies. New research with rats hints at a possible explanation: Male rats have more receptors for the drug in a brain region involved in pain processing. Although it's not yet clear whether the same is true in humans, researchers say the study underscores the need for more research on the sex-specific effects of pain drugs
Pain Hurts More If Person Hurting You Means It

Researchers at Harvard University have discovered that our experience of pain depends on whether we think someone caused the pain intentionally. In their study, participants who believed they were getting an electrical shock from another person on purpose, rather than accidentally, rated the very same shock as more painful. Participants seemed to get used to shocks that were delivered unintentionally, but those given on purpose had a fresh sting every time
Common Anesthetic Induces Alzheimer's-Associated Changes in Mouse Brains

For the first time, researchers have shown that a commonly used anesthetic can produce changes associated with Alzheimer's disease in the brains of living mammals, confirming previous laboratory studies: Use of the gas isoflurane can lead to the generation of the toxin amyloid beta.

A recent study conducted by researchers at Georgia State University is the first of its kind to demonstrate that administration of preemptive morphine prior to a painful procedure in infancy blocks the long-term negative consequences of pain in adult rodents. These studies have serious implications for the way anesthetics and analgesics are administered to neonates prior to surgery.
Unconscious Brain Still Registers Pain

Most of the time, doctors have a simple way to determine if a patient needs pain medication: They ask. But when a brain injury renders someone unable to respond to questions, the right course of action becomes murkier. Now a study finds that the brains of some patients with brain injuries respond to an unpleasant electrical shock much as do the brains of healthy people, suggesting that these patients may feel pain even though they're unable to show it
New Cannabis-like Drugs Could Block Pain Without Affecting Brain, Says Study

New research shows that CB2 receptors, a type of cannabis receptor, are present in the peripheral nervous system but not in the brain. The signficance? Now cannabinoid drugs that can be tweaked to affect only this receptor can be used for painkilling purposes without causing physical addiction or intoxication or any of the mild mental side effects know in recreational marijuana. Osteoarthritis in particular seems a likely place to apply this information.
Cymbalta May Cut Chronic Low Back Pain

Cymbalta, a prescription drug used to treat depression, generalized anxiety disorder, diabetic nerve pain, and fibromyalgia, may ease chronic low back pain.
That's according to a study presented in Madrid at the twelfth congress of the European Federation of the Neurological Sciences.
The study included 236 adults with chronic low back pain who weren't depressed. They took Cymbalta or a placebo drug daily for thirteen weeks.
Average weekly pain scores, measured before taking Cymbalta or the placebo and again at the end of the study, showed greater improvement in the Cymbalta group
Oxytocin may inhibit social phobia
kavin submitted, created time 5 months 1 week (www.news-medical.net)
Swedish and British scientists have shown using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) that the hormone oxytocin can inhibit feelings of anxiety in specific individuals. Their discovery might lead to a better understanding and the improved treatment of psychiatric affections in which people feel distressed when meeting others, such as in cases of autism and social phobia.
Oxytocin is a neuropeptide that is secreted by the body during massage, childbirth and breastfeeding to induce a calming, analgesic effect
Anesthesia Can Cause Post-Op Pain

General anesthetics are used to put a patient to sleep during surgery, but new research has found that their use can increase the discomfort that patients feel when they wake up. The hope is that this scientific study, a first to explain anecdotal observations, could lead to increased use of general anesthetics that don't have this type of side effect or the development of a new kind of anesthetic
Why anaesthetics can make the pain worse
jerry submitted, created time 6 months 2 weeks (www.newscientist.com)
When you undergo surgery, you expect general anaesthetic to take the pain away, not make it worse. But new research suggests that many commonly used anaesthetics may worsen post-operative soreness and inflammation by activating peripheral pain pathways.
Runner's high proved non-mythical via PET scan
Darkfrog submitted, created time 9 months 1 week (www.nytimes.com)
Sit up, couch potatoes: the runner's high is real. Proving the yea or nea of the marathoner's mescalin has been difficult because, as one researcher put it, it's not such a good idea to give someone a spinal tap and then send 'em right off to run a 10K. Recently, someone came up with the bright idea of using PET scans (they copied off the dudes doing pain research).
This article is interesting more for the way in which the researchers applied existing technology to solve a problem than for the subject they're studying
When Is Sedation Really Euthanasia?

Terminal sedation is the decision to keep dying patients, who cannot be made comfortable in any other way, unconscious until they die. But when is this the same as euthanasia?
Is Aromatherapy actually good for you?
DanyC submitted, created time 10 months 2 days (www.washingtonpost.com)
Researchers are reporting that two of the most commonly used scents in aromatherapy do nothing to heal wounds, relieve pain or enhance immune status, although one did briefly improve mood.
In fact, in some cases, distilled water showed more of a salutary effect, the study found.

A belief in the healing power of magnets has been around since ancient Greece, leading to a $5 billion a year worldwide industry that supplies millions of believers with magnets for everything from arthritis to cancer to depression. Researchers at the University of Virginia have found some evidence that the use of small magnetic fields may in fact affect blood flow.
