Neuropathic pain is one of chronic pain and originates from a malfunction of the nervous system. Light touch can cause intense pain and small temperature changes may feel much larger. Many chemotherapeutic medicines (cisplatin, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, vincristine, vinblastine, bortezomb, and thalidomide) produce neuropathic pain, which is a dose-limiting side effect. This pain is not treated with normal pain killers such as acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen. Now many doctors have prescribed antidepressant and anticonvulsant. However, they have modest analgesic effects. Therefore, the new medicine is needed.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia Gulf Coast Consortium for Translational Pain Research  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Assistant Professor Pain Medicine MD Anderson Cancer Center
