Pain often gets in the way of daily life and affects mood and quality of life. Pain treatment options are limited for people with dialysis-dependent kidney disease who are more likely to have worse side effects from opioids, a common pain treatment for these individuals, making it a challenge to manage pain. Effective alternatives or additions to pain medications are desperately needed.</p><p><strong>New Finding:</strong> The <a href="https://heal.nih.gov/funding/awarded?institutions=Dember">Hemodialysis Opioid Prescription Effort (HOPE)</a> Consortium Trial to Reduce Pain and Opioid Use in Hemodialysis, funded by the NIH HEAL Initiative, showed that a cognitive behavioral-based pain coping skills training significantly decreased how much pain interfered with daily life in people with dialysis-dependent kidney failure. Study participants reported improved physical function, reduced depression symptoms, and less intense pain compared to those receiving usual care.</p><p><strong>Imagine the Future: </strong>With new non-pharmacologic, non-invasive strategies like pain coping skills training for managing pain, people with dialysis-dependent kidney failure can more easily participate in daily activities, and experience less intense pain and depression and improved quality of life.</p><div class="card gradient"><ul><li>HEAL Project: <a href="https://heal.nih.gov/research/clinical-research/hemodialysis">Hemodialysis Opioid Prescription Effort (HOPE) Consortium Trial to Reduce Pain and Opioid Use in Hemodialysis</a></li><li>Publication: <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2828284">Pain coping skills training for patients receiving hemodialysis: The HOPE Consortium randomized clinical trial</a></li><li>HEAL Researcher: Laura M.

Often, researchers model pain in the lab by studying <a href="https://heal.nih.gov/news/stories/living-pain-circuit">cells in a dish</a>. Even though scientists know that several different types of cells in the brain are involved in pain, most cell models in the lab focus on the role of only one cell type: neurons.</p><p><strong>New Finding:</strong> HEAL researchers have created a new way to model pain in the lab that uses both neurons and another type of brain cell called astrocytes. Because the new model uses more than one type of cell, it is more similar to how pain really works in the body. If scientists use the new model to test pain therapies, there is a better chance that the therapies will work in the human body.</p><p><strong>What Does This Mean for the Future of Pain Care?</strong> Testing pain medications in cell models could help researchers create powerful, non-addictive treatments for chronic pain.</p><div class="card gradient"><ul><li>HEAL Project: <a href="https://heal.nih.gov/research/preclinical-translational/novel-drugs-screening-platforms">Translational Research to Advance Testing of Novel Drugs and Human Cell-Based Screening Platforms to Treat Pain and Opioid Use Disorder</a></li><li>Publication: <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10060658/">Electrically-evoked Oscillating Calcium Transients in Mono- and Co-cultures of iPSC Glia and Sensory Neurons</a></li><li>HEAL Researcher: Bryan James Black, Ph.D., University of Massachusetts – Lowell</li></ul></div><hr>
