Preview thumbnail for Using opioids for chronic pain can paradoxically result in higher pain in some people, leading to increased tolerance and physical/mental dependence. A new study in mice reveals that serotonin may play a key role in this effect, and may be a therapeutic target for opioid-induced hyperalgesia. image
