Pain is an important physiological response in living organisms. While physical pain is an outcome of tissue damage, pain can manifest as diverse unpleasant sensory and emotional experiences.

An international team of scientists has identified the neural mechanisms through which sound blunts pain in mice. The newly reported research, led by teams at the National Institute of Dental and ...

People often think of pharmaceutical treatments and meditation to ease physical pain, but pain can be alleviated with music therapy. A study published in Science explored the neural circuits in the ...

Soft sounds can soothe mice to a point where they don't feel pain, according to an international team of researchers working with the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research and China's ...

Pain responses are triggered in response to physical injury as well as psychological or emotional stressors. However, the mechanisms underlying social or emotional pain transmission are poorly ...

Pain is an important physiological response in living organisms. While physical pain is an outcome of tissue damage, pain can manifest as diverse unpleasant sensory and emotional experiences. Many ...

About 20% of all adults around the world live with chronic pain. Researchers from the University of Minnesota discovered via an animal model that the combination of electrical and sound stimulation ...

For decades, biomedical researchers have used mouse behavior to study pain, but some researchers have questioned the accuracy of the interpretations of how mice experience pain. Now, Rutgers ...

Neuroscientists have developed a method that can more accurately gauge pain in mice, which could lead researchers to discover new ways to treat pain in human patients. For decades, biomedical ...

New research in mice demonstrates that pain relief by sound is not purely attributable to stress reduction and distraction; the study reveals a neural circuit underlying sound-induced analgesia in the ...
