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.

Evaluation of A Self-Care Toolkit in Surgical Breast Cancer Patients

The main research questions focus on whether the toolkit provides short-term benefits on symptoms associated with surgery (i.e., pain, anxiety, nausea) and whether it impacts emotional distress and other symptoms (i.e., pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, global health, quality of life) at a two-week post-operative time point. This study will be conducted at San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC) in active duty, veteran, and military dependent women newly diagnosed with breast cancer for whom surgery (e.g., lumpectomy or mastectomy) is the initial treatment option.
