Hi everyone. I treat burning mouth syndrome which is a chronic neuropathic pain condition. Two patients had complete resolution of their pain (temporarily) during Covid infections. Research shows a pathway by which Covid dampens pain. This paper explains the pathway: The paper, “SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein co-opts VEGF-A/Neuropilin-1 receptor signaling to induce analgesia,” will be published in PAIN, the journal of the International Association for the Study of Pain. Does anyone know of a peptide that will block the VEGF-A/Neuropilin-1 receptor ? Apparently big pharma is working on it but I can’t find any clues as to which peptides they are working on. Any ideas would be welcomed. Thank you.
