Summary
Monocyte transmigration drives remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia (RIH). Flurbiprofen axetil mitigates RIH by retaining monocytes and modulating chemokine signals, offering a targeted therapeutic strategy for pain management.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Immunology
- Pain Medicine
Background:
- Remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia (RIH) is a clinical challenge in anesthesia.
- The role of monocyte transmigration in RIH pathogenesis was previously undefined.
