    Abstract: A method for the use and delivery of tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMPs) to control the activity of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) in the extracellular matrix (ECM) in order to treat and prevent extracellular matrix degradation in an injured tendon or ligament is presented. Accelerated breakdown of the extracellular matrix occurs in various pathological processes, including inflammation, chronic degenerative diseases and tumor invasion. Four members of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) family have been characterized so far, designated as TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3, and TIMP-4. Various introduction amounts, timing and combinations are capable of inhibiting the activities of all known matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) and as such play a key role in maintaining the balance between (ECM) deposition and degradation in different physiological processes.

    Abstract: The invention provides a method for alleviating discogenic pain by administering a therapeutic agent that disrupts neuronal and/or vascular elements in the disc, which is typically a degenerated disc. Disruption of neuronal elements in the disc includes destroying nerve endings without substantially affecting the central body of the nerve, suppressing activation of the nerve endings, and inhibiting the growth of nerve endings into the disc. Disruption of vascular elements includes causing the vascular extensions to retract from the disc, or suppressing the formation of such extensions. The therapeutic agent may be administered locally via an interbody pump, a bolus or a depot, or may be administered systemically.
