Abstract
Substance P is considered to be an important neuropeptide in nociceptive processes. Although substance P was described more than 60 years ago, there is still controversy about its exact role in nociception. This article reviews the current knowledge about the function of substance P in pain. Special emphasis is put on how to use this knowledge in the development of new ways to treat pain.
