Chronic pain not only causes long-term pain, but also leads to feeling sluggish and even depressedSome of the existing analgesics can relieve chronic pain, but may bring serious side effects such as addictionA new U.Sstudy has found that a protein called RGS4 is linked to chronic pain and could help develop new pain treatments in the futureresearchers at the National School of Medicinen-Sinai School of Medicine in the United States, both nerve damage and chronic pain caused by inflammation are associated with RGS4The team used genetic techniques to inhibit the RGS4 gene activity in experimental mice in order to study the role of rgS4 proteins in triggering, strengthening and maintaining chronic painstudy found that inhibiting the RGS4 gene reduced chronic pain symptoms in mice and promoted the recovery of nerve damage and inflammation in miceteam will learn more about the specific mechanisms by which the RGS4 protein affects painThe research paper will be published in the American Journal of Neuroscience on the 16th of this month
