Overview

Overview: 

Substance P is a neuropeptide that functions as a neurotransmitter and as a neuromodulator, playing a criticial role in pain perception. It is found in the brain and spinal cord, and is associated with inflammatory processes in the joints, causing arthritic pain, as well as low back pain and fibromyalgia. Substance P and other neuropeptides can be released from sensory nerve fibers in the skin, muscle and joints causing a local inflammatory response to certain types of infection or injury.
