Study Notes
TRPV1 Antagonists and Pain Management
- TRPV1 antagonists reduce pain by blocking TRPV1 activity
- In rats, TRPV1 antagonists have been shown to be effective in reducing nociception from inflammatory and neuropathic pain models
- In humans, the major side-effect of TRPV1 antagonists is hyperthermia
- Hyperthermia limits the usefulness of TRPV1 antagonists as a treatment option
