Treatment of pain

Abstract

The present invention is directed inter alia to the treatment of pain. For example, there is provided a chimeric clostridial neurotoxin for use in treating pain by inhibiting the release of a pain mediator from a neuron comprising an Aδ nerve fiber or a C nerve fiber, wherein the chimeric clostridial neurotoxin binds to the neuron comprising the Aδ nerve fiber or the C nerve fiber, respectively, and wherein the chimeric clostridial neurotoxin comprises a botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A) light-chain and translocation domain (HN domain), and a BoNT/B receptor binding domain (HC domain). Also provided are methods, uses, kits, and unit dosage forms.
