Pruritus or itching, as pain, is a sensory experience similarly aversive associated with the desire to scratch. However, unlike the pain, there is a great lack of studies that explore the stimuli or mechanisms of action capable of inducing the perception of pruritus/itching. The current therapy for this symptom limited to the class of anti-histamine drugs, which acts not always satisfacto…
Itching, similar to pain, is an unpleasant sensory sensation associated with the desire to scratch. In contrast to pain, there is a great lack of studies that investigate the mechanisms of action involved in the perception of itch. Currently, the available therapy is restricted to anti-histamines, although not always satisfactory for some forms of itching, such as those common in skin dis…

Interstitial Cystitis or Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic painful inflammatory disease, which affects 2-17% of the world population, and is characterized by pelvic pressure, voiding urgency and frequency. Although the mechanisms that leads to its development are not well established, it is known that both the expression of the subunits of the soluble Guanylate Cyclase enzyme (s…
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease, immune-mediated, with 2-4% of global incidence. Characterized mainly by skin lesions associated with intense itching, which greatly reduces the life quality of patients. Neither the classic anti-inflammatory steroid therapy nor biological agents is always effective, besides the high cost and serious adverse effects, as well as works efficiently…
We have previously shown that early exposure to 1,2-naphthoquinone (1,2-NQ) might sensitizes the oxidative system of male, thus leading to an increase in inflammatory response in male but not in female juvenile mice. By comparison, environmental pollutants and reactive species activate TRPA1 channels, that are expressed in bronchopulmonary C-fibre terminals, thus suggesting that these rec…
Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience that is associated with real or potential injuries. It can be further classified as their time of action and intensity in acute or chronic, and as its location in somatic, visceral or neuropathic. Neuropathic pain affects mainly the components of the nervous system. This type of pain has great impact on the world's populati…
