A newly approved oral medication is giving hope to adults with chronic spontaneous urticaria, a condition that causes relentless itching so severe some patients can't sleep. One-third of patients achieved complete symptom relief within 12 weeks.
More than 150 digital health companies just got the green light to help millions of Medicare patients manage chronic conditions like diabetes and depression. Most have never served Medicare patients before, marking a huge shift in how seniors access care.
People with long Covid, POTS, and other chronic conditions are using fitness trackers to avoid debilitating crashes and reclaim their lives. After three years of tracking her health data, one journalist went from bedridden episodes to living crash-free.
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 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.
Virginia Tech researchers have successfully 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 breakthrough targets a biological mechanism previously overlooked by conventional painkillers.
A groundbreaking Medicare program will pay healthcare providers based on whether patients actually get healthier, not just for services delivered. Health tech company Cadence is among the first to join the experiment that could transform how chronic disease care works in America.
A supplement already sitting in millions of medicine cabinets might work as well as prescription painkillers for chronic pain. University of Sydney researchers found melatonin reduced pain by the same amount as opioids and NSAIDs in over 2,000 patients.
A small clinical trial reveals that ketamine, already used for depression, may offer rapid energy relief to millions suffering from chronic fatigue. The findings give hope to patients who've exhausted all other 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.
Researchers discovered a natural pain control switch in the brain that could lead to safer treatments for millions suffering from chronic nerve pain. The finding offers hope for relief without the risks of traditional opioid medications.
Australian researchers have discovered a physical cause for chronic fatigue syndrome: a broken waste-clearing system in the brain. The breakthrough could finally bring accurate diagnosis and treatment to millions of patients worldwide.
A groundbreaking 12-week study shows CBD and similar compounds dramatically reduce chronic pain without the high, offering hope to millions seeking alternatives to addictive opioids. Patients went from severe daily agony to mild discomfort while maintaining complete mental clarity.
