Abstract: Effective treatments of pain and/or inflammation are provided. Through the administration of a porous biodegradable drug depot film, patch, strip or sponge being implantable within a nasal or sinus cavity and having pores sized to prevent the depot from functioning as a scaffold for tissue growth, one can reduce, prevent or treat pain and/or inflammation and prevent cells from infiltrating the drug depot and laying down scaffolding cells.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and composition developed to be used with imaging techniques and useful for diagnosis and monitoring the pain generator(s) of axial pain with or without radiculopathy and methods for screening therapeutic compounds potentially useful for treating axial pain with or without radiculopathy. Alternatively, degenerated discs can be monitored and treated before occurrence of a pathological pain condition. Pain markers and markers of degeneration include markers of neuronal, vascular, immune and matrix elements.

Abstract: Effective treatments of pain and/or inflammation are provided. Through the administration of a biodegradable drug depot film, patch, strip or sponge being implantable at or near a cardiac tissue or within a nasal or sinus cavity, one can reduce, prevent or treat pain and/or inflammation.

Abstract: The invention provides kits developed to analyze ex vivo, a sample retrieved from the area of the pathological condition for diagnosis and monitoring the pain generator(s) of axial pain with or without radiculopathy and methods for screening therapeutic compounds potentially useful for treating axial pain with or without radiculopathy. Alternatively, degenerated discs can be monitored and treated before occurrence of a pathological pain condition. Pain markers and markers of degenerating disc include markers of neuronal, vascular, immune and matrix elements.

Abstract: The invention provides devices and related methods and composition useful for diagnosis and monitoring the pain generator(s) of axial pain with or without radiculopathy and methods for screening test compounds potentially useful for treating axial pain with or without radiculopathy. Alternatively, degenerated discs can be monitored and treated before occurrence of a pathological pain condition. Pain markers and markers of degenerating disc include markers of neuronal, vascular, immune and matrix elements.
