title = "Roles of 5-HT2B Receptor in Pain",
abstract = "Serotonin can be released from many different types of immune cells and platelets and is related to inflammatory responses. Growing evidence has suggested that serotonin is a pro-nociceptive agent that can cause pain and hyperalgesia by activating various subtypes of 5-HT receptors present in primary afferents. Different subtype receptors on nociceptors have distinct mechanisms in regulating 5-HT–induced pain or hyperalgesia. In this chapter, we focus on the roles of the 5-HT2B receptor in various types of pain and how it regulates pain by distinct mechanisms in various types of pain.",
