An integrated approach towards drug discovery and target validation for pain (Decipain)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Chronic and neuropathic pain, usually diagnosed as spontaneous pain, hypersensitivity to pain or both, is a maladaptive response of the organism to injury and inflammation.Finding new effective drugs to treat these debilitating conditions has shown particularly difficult, as compounds showing good efficacy in preclinical models often fail to meet clinical trials endpoints. A commonly accepted expl ...
