  • Suppression of SCN9A gene expression and/or function for the treatment of pain
    Patent number: 8183221
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, sequences and nucleic acid molecules used to treat pain. Specifically, the methods and sequences include locally administering molecules that suppress the expression of amino acid sequences that encode for Nav1.7 channels or that otherwise inhibit the function of Nav1.7 channels. Local suppression of Nav1.7 channel levels and/or function will occur in the peripheral sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia.
