3 Chronic pain is a major heath problem Over 100 million Americans have chronic pain The total financial cost of is near 600 billion a year in the US. Annual US expenditure on pain (medical costs and lost wages) is higher than that for cancer, heart disease, and diabetes combined. Co-morbidity: Chronic pain is associated with depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. Prevention and treatment of this epidemic are equally important. Pizzo & Clark, N Engl J Med., 2012 American Pain Society

4 Peripheral mechanisms of pain Nociceptor Ji et al., Nat Rev Drug Disco., 2014

5 Central mechanisms of pain Tissue injury & Nerve injury DRG Primary afferents Microglia Activation p38-p ERK-P Persistent pain Glutamate BDNF Injury TNF-a IL-1b BDNF Glial mediators AMPA NMDA TrkB Excitation Astroglia activation CCL2 IL-1b JNK-P GABA-A-R Gly-R Spinal cord dorsal horn neurons Inhibition
