Pain is a common symptom of many clinical diseases; it adversely affects patients' physical and mental health, reduces their quality of life, and heavily burdens patients and society. Pain treatment is one of the most difficult problems today. There is an urgent need to explore the potential factors involved in the pathogenesis of pain to improve its diagnosis and treatment rate. 1/2, a newly identified mechanosensitive ion channel opens in response to mechanical stimuli and plays a critical role in regulating pain-related diseases. Inhibition or downregulation of 1/2 alleviates disease-induced pain. Therefore, in this study, we comprehensively discussed the biology of this gene, focusing on its potential relevance in pain-related diseases, and explored the pharmacological effects of drugs using this gene for the treatment of pain.

Background: There is limited understanding of how temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms, psychological distress, and well-being are related to each other and to OHRQoL in Chinese young adults.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify correlations between TMD symptom severity, psychological status, and OHRQoL while also examining factors associated with low OHRQoL.
Methods: Participants, recruited from a major university in the capital city, completed a survey that included demographics, the Chinese versions of the expanded five TMD symptoms (5Ts) screener, Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being-18 (SPWB-18), and Oral Health Impact Profile for TMDs (OHIP-TMD).

Chronic pain is a common symptom in Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS), affecting 11-60% of patients, but the link between COVID-19 and chronic pain remains unclear. This study assesses healthcare resource utilization (HRU) for pain management among French COVID-19 survivors, using the National French Claims Database (SNDS). We analyzed medical consultations, rehabilitation services, diagnostic procedures, and medication dispensing to identify PACS-related pain patterns and their impact on the healthcare system.

Anhedonia, characterized by diminished motivation and pleasure sensitivity, is increasingly recognized as prevalent among patients with chronic pain. Deep Endometriosis (DE), the most severe endophenotype of the disease, is commonly presented with chronic pelvic pain. This cross-sectional study reports, for the first time, the prevalence of anhedonia in a sample comprised by 212 premenopausal women with suspected DE referred to a tertiary hospital.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the high prevalence of pain in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, with 80.6% reporting pain, indicating its significant impact on quality of life.
- It distinguishes between neuropathic pain (NP) and musculoskeletal pain, finding that longer disease duration predicts NP and that females experience more musculoskeletal pain.
- The research highlights the correlation between anxiety and central parkinsonian pain and suggests further exploration of amantadine's potential benefits in managing pain, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment approaches in PD.

Painful diabetic neuropathy commonly affects the peripheral nervous system in individuals with diabetes. However, the pathological processes and mechanisms underlying diabetic neuropathic pain remain unclear. We aimed to identify the overall profiles and screen for genes potentially involved in pain mechanisms using transcriptome analysis of the dorsal root ganglion of diabetic mice treated with streptozotocin (STZ).
