Immune mechanisms of pain and analgesia

This book offers a critical analysis of the concept: the contribution of immune mechanisms in pain and analgesia. It presents a comprehensive overview of this emerging and promising area. The first part constitutes an extensive discussion of diverse sensory effects of cytokines. This book provides evidence for exaggerated pain states produced by cytokins derived from glia within the central nervous system. It also examines the influence of opioids on the immune system.
