Neurogenic inflammation in health and disease

Neuropeptides released from activated nociceptive afferent nerves play a pivotal role in inflammatory reactions and pain. This book includes several chapters that deal with the therapeutic potential of a new class of putative pain relieving agents acting through TRPV1, the capsaicin/vanilloid receptor, a specific ion channel which transmits pain.
