Pharmacological strategies to enhance endogenous opioid actions in pain circuits. [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Boosting endogenous opioid actions in our brain may allow us to utilize this system to reduce pain and the related disability without the addiction and overdose threat associated with opioid drugs. We have shown that we can enhance endogenous opioid actions using two pharmacological strategies. We will now determine how we can use these strategies to enhance endogenous opioid regulation of the neural function and behaviours important in pain and related anxiety disorders.
