2022年9月26日 · Mechanism. Nociceptive stimuli activate transient receptor potential (TRP) channels on nerve endings, which cause first-order neurons to depolarize and fire action potentials. Action potential frequency determines stimulus intensity. A-delta fibers release glutamate onto second-order neurons, while C-fibers release neuropeptide neurotransmitters.

2023年5月1日 · Nociceptive pain arises from tissues damaged by physical or chemical agents such as trauma, surgery, or chemical burns, while neuropathic pain arises from diseases or damage mediated directly to sensory nerves, such as diabetic neuropathy, shingles, or postherpetic neuralgia.
Nociceptors: the sensors of the pain pathway - PMC - PubMed …
Specialized peripheral sensory neurons known as nociceptors alert us to potentially damaging stimuli at the skin by detecting extremes in temperature and pressure and injury-related chemicals, and transducing these stimuli into long-ranging electrical signals that are relayed to higher brain centers.
Mechanisms of Transmission and Processing of Pain: A Narrative …
This narrative review aims to clarify the mechanisms of transmission and the processing of pain while also taking into account the characteristics and properties of nociceptors and how the immune system influences pain perception.
Physiology, Nociception - PubMed
2023年5月1日 · Acute noxious stimuli (e.g., heat, cold, mechanical force, or chemical stimulation) trigger nociceptors. Acute pain becomes inflammatory pain when the noxious stimulus persists long enough to allow nociceptive neurons to release their pro-inflammatory markers and sensitize or activate responsive cells in their local environment.
Advances in understanding nociception and neuropathic pain
2024年10月17日 · Pain results from the activation of a subset of sensory neurones termed nociceptors and has evolved as a “detect and protect” mechanism. However, lesion or disease in the sensory system can result in neuropathic pain, which serves no protective ...
Nociceptive Pain - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Nociceptive pain is pain secondary to potential tissue damage in the setting of a functionally normal nervous system. The perception of potential tissue damage is relayed through pain pathways by activation of peripheral nociceptors in response to noxious somatic or …
Molecular mechanisms of nociception - Nature
2001年9月13日 · Efforts to determine how these neurons detect pain-producing stimuli of a thermal, mechanical or chemical nature have revealed new signalling mechanisms and brought us closer to understanding...
Anatomy and Physiology: Mechanisms of Nociceptive …
2019年7月24日 · The fundamental components of the pain pathway include (1) transduction of noxious stimuli into a neuronal signal, (2) transmission of the nociceptive signal to the CNS, (3) perception and integration in higher-order cortical structures, and (4) modulation via reciprocal and descending tracts.
Signaling Pathways in Sensitization: Toward a Nociceptor Cell …
2007年8月2日 · How this multitude of cascades mediates nociceptor sensitization and pain is only beginning to be understood. As function relies upon structure, investigation of the cellular components involved in this process has greatly enhanced the understanding of nociceptive mechanisms and their modulation and opened surprising new fields of research.
