ROLE OF HIGH OMEGA -6 DIET AS A RISK FACTOR FOR PAIN THROUGH INCREASED TRPV1 AND TRPA1 ACTIVITY

Physicians recommend dietary interventions for management of cardiovascular disease,diabetes and many autoimmune diseases; however, there is a large gap in knowledge on the role ofdiet as a risk factor or potential therapy for chronic pain. Management of pain remains a substantialmedical problem, in part, because of an incomplete understanding of the physiologic mechanisms fortransduction and processing of noxious stimuli. Moreover, current analgesics are often limited byincomplete efficacy, unacceptable side effects or risk of dependency.
