Secondary Analysis and Integration of Existing Data Related to Chronic Orofacial Pain and Placebo Effects | Cross-Cutting Research | Leveraging Existing and Real-Time Opioid and Pain Management Data | NIDCR | UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE | COLLOCA, LUANA (contact); DORSEY, SUSAN G | Baltimore, MD | 2022 |
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Secondary Analysis and Integration of Existing Data Related to Acute and Chronic Pain Development or Management in Humans (R21 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DE-22-011 Summary: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which affect the joint connecting the lower jaw and the skull, are common and difficult chronic pain conditions. Pain management strategies that harness the body’s own pain relief mechanisms (including placebo effects in which pain relief cannot be attributed to a specific treatment), can reduce the severity and duration of TMJ-related chronic pain. Although research suggests that placebo effects may have a genetic basis, few, if any, genetic studies have examined this possibility in individuals with TMJ disorders. This project will use in-depth genetic, sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological data collected from adults with chronic TMJ disorders to better understand how the placebo effect works. |

Recruiting Active Expiration to Overcome Opioid-Induced Persistent Apnea | Novel Therapeutic Options for Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose | Focusing Medication Development to Prevent and Treat Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose | NIDA | University of California, Los Angeles | FELDMAN, JACK L | Los Angeles, CA | 2022 |
NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Novel Targets for Opioid Use Disorders and Opioid Overdose (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: RFA-DA-22-032 Summary: Prescription opioids provide pain relief, but overdose can be fatal because opioids also depress breathing through opioid-induced persistent apnea, when breathing stops. This research will determine whether targeted activation of a specific, opioid-insensitive brain region that triggers exhalation can increase tolerance to fentanyl-induced apnea. The research also seeks to identify the receptors responsible for this exhalation, which could be targets for new medications that prevent the negative impact of opioids on breathing. This research lays the groundwork for more preclinical and translational studies to prevent opioid-induced persistent apnea. |

NOFO Title: Emergency Awards: HEAL Initiative-Early-Stage Discovery of New Pain and Opioid Use Disorder Targets Within the Understudied Druggable Proteome (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
NOFO Number: TR22-011 Summary: Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder affecting about 100,000 Americans and over 20 million people worldwide. It is caused by a mutation in the gene for beta-globin that results in the characteristic sickled shape of red blood cells, life-long severe pain, and shortened lifespan. Painful episodes that require hospitalization and, in many cases, opioid treatment, are a hallmark of sickle cell disease. The source of these painful episodes remains unclear, and it is also unknown why pain severity varies so much among affected individuals. This project will identify novel, non-opioid targets to reduce sickle cell-related pain and search for biomarkers to help clinicians predict which individuals are at risk for increased pain, thereby improving health outcomes for people with sickle cell disease. |
