FROM CENTRAL SENSITIZATION TO PAIN: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?
Fernando Cervero, MD, PhD, DSc, Director of the Alan Edwards Centre for Research on Pain, McGill
University, Montral, Québec
The concept of a “central sensitization” to pain is often quoted as being the cause of many pain states,
yet there are various and different interpretations of what this concept means and of its significance to
the perception of pain. The talk will address this problem by linking clinically relevant pain states with the
appropriate basic science data.
PROTEINASE ACTIVATED RECEPTORS AND PAIN
Nathalie Vergnolle, MD, PhD, Director of Research INSERM U563, Toulouse, France / Associate Professor,
Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta
Proteases, through the activation of Protease-Activated Receptors (PARs) can signal to sensory neurons
and interfere with the transmission of pain. Depending on the proteolytic environment of nerves and on
the type of PARs that is activated, pro-or anti-nociceptive effects can be observed. Evidences have now
been raised that proteases and their receptors have to be considered as potential therapeutic targets for
the treatment of pain.
