20080241121 | INHIBITORS OF THE CERAMIDE METABOLIC PATHWAY AS ADJUNCTS TO OPIATES FOR PAIN - A method for treating opiate induced tolerance or opiate induced hyperalgesia in a subject is closed. More specifically, the method provides for reducing ceramide levels with an agent thereby treating opiate induced antinociceptive/analgesic tolerance or hyperalgesia in a human or non-human subject. The method further allows for improved pain management in subjects suffering from chronic pain as well as treatment for opiate induced disorders. | 10-02-2008 |
