🎉 Excited to share that our latest research has been accepted for publication in Anesthesiology!

Both #pregabalin and #morphine relieve #pain in mice with #neuropathic pain, but only pregabalin stabilises REM #sleep, sleep #spindles and #circadian #rhythms.

Differential Effects of Pregabalin and Morphine on the Sleep-Wake Cycle and Circadian Rhythms in Mice with Neuropathic Pain - PubMed
Pregabalin, unlike morphine, restores SNI-disrupted sleep architecture, circadian rhythms, and spinal circadian gene expression.

Identified rhythmic transcripts with altered rhythmicity may play important roles in circadian regulation of neuropathic pain and potentially might be targets for chronotherapies to relieve pain.

Our study shows that nerve injury in mice disrupts the rhythmic expression of hundreds of transcripts in spinal cord and periaqueductal gray, two key regions in pain modulation that are both under strong circadian control. Immune-related genes were predominantly affected by circadian disruption.
