项目摘要

Summary Chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs) are idiopathic pain conditions that have minimal identifiable origins in organic disease and represent a highly significant pain management challenge for physician and patient. They occur in tens of millions of Americans with annual costs exceeding $100 billion. Epidemiological data indicate many of these conditions overlap in presentation in the same patient, with odds of presenting 2 or more conditions exceeding 50%. Often spatially separate areas of the body are affected (e.g., temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)), which strongly suggests the involvement of central nervous system mechanisms. Additionally, stress triggers or exacerbates many of these conditions, which occur more frequently or exclusively in women. The convergence of pain from different peripheral tissues and perceived stress most likely occurs in the brain. We have developed an animal model of comorbid pain conditions that involves masseter muscle inflammation plus stress to induce chronic visceral hypersensitivity modeling the pain in patients with TMD and IBS. The purpose of this supplemental project is to refine this comorbid pain model for further use in our novel therapeutic target discovery project. We propose a more natural orofacial condition, malocclusion producing a unilateral anterior crossbite, which has been reported to evoke temporomandibular joint pain. This will be combined with less invasive methods to measure visceral hypersensitivity, using referred pain rather than the visceromotor response, eliminating the need for surgery to implant electrodes and single housing to protect electrode leads from cagemates. These conditions are proposed to refine the model more closely approximating conditions that might contribute to chronic overlapping pain in order to gain a mechanistic understanding and aid discovery of novel therapeutic targets.
概括 慢性重叠疼痛状况(COPC)是特发性疼痛状况,可识别最小 起源于有机疾病,代表了医生和 病人。它们发生在数千万的美国人中,每年成本超过1000亿美元。流行病学 数据表明,在同一患者中,其中许多条件在介绍中重叠,呈现2或 更多的条件超过50%。通常在空间上分开的身体受到影响(例如, 颞下颌疾病(TMD)和肠易激综合症(IBS)),强烈建议 中枢神经系统机制的参与。此外,压力触发或加剧了其中的许多 妇女中更频繁或完全发生的情况。来自不同的疼痛的收敛 周围组织和感知的压力很可能发生在大脑中。我们已经开发了一个动物模型 合并症疼痛条件,涉及咬肌肌肉炎症加压力以诱导慢性内脏 高敏性对TMD和IBS患者的疼痛进行建模。这个补充项目的目的是 完善这种合并症疼痛模型,以在我们新颖的治疗目标发现项目中进一步使用。我们提出了一个 更自然的口肤状况,出现单侧前咬合的变质咬合,这已经是 据报道引起颞下颌关节疼痛。这将与较少的侵入性方法相结合 内脏超敏反应,使用引用的疼痛而不是内脏运动反应,消除了对 手术到植入物电极和单个外壳,以保护电极导线免受cagemates的侵害。这些条件 提出提出更接近近似条件的模型,这可能有助于慢性 重叠疼痛以获得机械理解并有助于发现新型治疗靶标。
