Publisher's Summary:
Painkillers in the opium family may actually make pain last longer. Morphine treatment after a nerve injury doubled the duration of pain in rats, scientists report. The results raise the troubling prospect that in addition to having unpleasant side effects and addictive potential, opioids such as OxyContin and Vicodin could actually extend some types of pain. If a similar effect is found in people, it suggests that the treatment is actually contributing to the problem, says study coauthor Peter Grace, a neuroscientist at the University of Colorado Boulder.
"Morphine Can Prolong Rats' Pain" is from the July 9, 2016 issue of Science News.
