Abstract Nerve pain, particularly from conditions like arthritis and sciatica, impacts millions of people globally. Understanding the root causes of these conditions from a molecular and cellular perspective provides key insights into how these disorders develop and progress. This paper explores the biochemical and physiological mechanisms that contribute to nerve pain, focusing on the causes […]
Abstract Pain in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is one of the most debilitating symptoms, often leading to acute and chronic suffering. This paper explores the neurophysiological pathways involved in the initiation and transmission of pain in SCD, highlighting the root causes, such as nerve fibres, pain sensors, and their interactions. The paper further investigates the […]
