A new study published in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, has identified the molecular pathway by which morphine can increase pain, which could lead to new ways of making morphine effective for more patients, according to a PsychCentral report.
The findings in the study suggest that there are ways to prevent morphine from increasing pain for those patients who suffer from intractable and morphine-related pain. The study could serve as the foundation for developing strategies to improve treatment of post-operative and chronic pain, according to the report.
