Introduction: Numerous studies have shown that an intact CNS is required for the conscious perception of cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) and that changes in the CNS are clearly evident. Accordingly, the blockage of nociceptive stimulus into the CNS can effectively relieve or markedly attenuate CIBP, revealing the clinical implication of the blockage of ongoing peripheral inputs for the control of CIBP. Areas covered: In this review, the heterogeneity and excitability of nociceptors in bone are covered. Furthermore, their role in initiating and maintaining CIBP is also described. Expert opinion: Developing mechanistic therapies to treat CIBP is a challenge, but they have the potential to fundamentally change our ability to effectively block/relieve CIBP and increase the functional status and quality of life of patients with bone metastasis. Further studies are desperately needed at both the preclinical and clinical levels to determine whether the targets as mentioned in this review are viable and feasible for patient populations.
