Scientists discovered that a common bone hormone can ease chronic back pain by stopping pain-sensing nerves from growing into damaged spine areas. The breakthrough could lead to treatments that target the root cause of pain, not just symptoms.
A hormone already used to treat osteoporosis might reverse chronic back pain by stopping nerves from growing into damaged spine areas. Johns Hopkins researchers discovered the treatment repairs deteriorating spinal tissue at its source.
Scientists at Johns Hopkins discovered that a hormone already used to treat weak bones can prevent pain nerves from invading damaged spinal tissue. The breakthrough could finally offer relief to millions who suffer from chronic low back pain without a clear cause.
Scientists discovered that a common osteoporosis drug might eliminate chronic back pain by blocking pain nerves from growing into damaged spine tissue. The breakthrough could transform treatment for millions who suffer daily.
After a slipped disc left him struggling with daily tasks, tech journalist Richard Baguley discovered simple tools that make life easier for anyone with back pain. His practical reviews offer hope to the 39% of Americans living with chronic back issues.
Australian researchers just proved what doctors have recommended for years: swimming really does ease chronic back pain. The first clinical trial of its kind shows an eight-week program reduced disability by half.

A minimally invasive procedure is offering hope to millions with knee arthritis who've run out of options between failed medications and risky surgery. The treatment blocks abnormal blood vessels and delivered lasting pain relief for 12 months.
Scientists discovered a brain circuit that drives chronic pain separately from protective acute pain, opening the door to treatments that could help 60 million Americans without dulling their danger responses. When researchers silenced this circuit in mice, chronic pain disappeared while normal pain signals stayed intact.
A revolutionary pain treatment discovered at Stony Brook University just secured $11 million to help cancer patients suffering from nerve damage without the risk of addiction. The therapy targets pain in a completely new way, offering hope to millions who currently have no FDA-approved options.
Researchers have identified the genetic fingerprint of "sleeping" pain neurons that affect 10% of people with chronic nerve pain. This breakthrough opens the door to targeted treatments that could silence overactive pain signals without affecting normal sensation.
Scientists discovered a brain circuit that drives chronic pain independently from normal pain signals, opening the door to treatments that could help 60 million Americans without blocking protective pain responses. The breakthrough may finally separate relief from risk.
Two new therapies just won backing from European regulators to treat one of the deadliest forms of lung cancer. The treatments fill critical gaps that have frustrated doctors for decades.

For 50 million Americans living with chronic pain that drugs can't touch, Virginia Tech researchers just delivered groundbreaking news: they've reversed persistent pain in mice by targeting a previously overlooked biological pathway. The discovery could lead to the first new non-opioid chronic pain treatment in years.
Scientists at Virginia Tech have reversed chronic pain in mice by blocking a single enzyme pathway, offering hope for 50 million Americans whose pain doesn't respond to current treatments. The discovery could lead to the first new class of non-opioid pain relief in years.
