Abstrakt: Neuropathic pain, a multifaceted and incapacitating disorder, impacts a significant number of individuals globally. Despite thorough investigation, the development of efficacious remedies for neuropathic pain continues to be a formidable task. Recent research has revealed the potential of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) as a target for managing neuropathic pain. mGlu5 is a receptor present in the central nervous system that has a vital function in regulating synaptic transmission and the excitability of neurons. This article seeks to investigate the importance of mGlu5 in neuropathic pain pathways, analyze the pharmacological approach of targeting mGlu5 for neuropathic pain treatment, and review the negative allosteric mGlu5 modulators used to target mGlu5. By comprehending the role of mGlu5 in neuropathic pain, we can discover innovative treatment approaches to ease the distress endured by persons afflicted with this incapacitating ailment.
