20100222385 | SELECTIVE ABLATION OF PAIN-SENSING NEURONS BY ADMINISTRATION OF A VANILLOID RECEPTOR AGONIST - The present invention provides methods and kits for the selective ablation of pain-sensing neurons. The methods comprise administration of a vanilloid receptor agonist to a ganglion in an amount that causes death of vanilloid receptor-bearing neurons. Accordingly, the present invention provides methods of controlling pain and inflammatory disorders that involve activation of vanilloid receptor-bearing neurons. | 09-02-2010 |
