Itch induced by peripheral mu opioid receptors is dependent on TRPV1-expressing neurons and alleviated by channel activation
Abstract Opioids remain the gold standard for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. However, their analgesic properties come with important side effects, including pruritus, which occurs frequently after systemic or neuraxial administration. Although part of the opioid-induced itch is mediated c...
