Abstract
Chronic pain is often difficult to treat effectively. We have exploited the high affinity of herpes simplex virus (HSV) for peripheral sensory neurons to create HSV-based vectors for the treatment of chronic pain. We have demonstrated that an HSV-based vector expressing proenkephalin reduces pain-related responses in rodent models of inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, and pain resulting from cancer in bone. A human trial has been proposed.
