Methods for administering oligonucleotides, nucleotide analogs, and non-nucleotide disruptor compounds to modulate the NK-1receptor biosynthetic pathway in humans and other mammals are provided. Oligonucleotides, and especially antisense oligonucleotides complementary to nucleic acids in the pathway that produces the NK-1 receptor, and those complementary to nucleic acids in pathways that regulate NK-1 receptor production and function, are useful, inter alia, to reduce pain, inflammation, and the undesirable effects of many diseases and conditions that involve NK-1 receptors. Non-nucleotide disrupter compounds and nucleotide analog compounds that act to modulate the NK-1receptor biosynthetic pathway to thereby regulate NK-1 receptor production and function, are similarly useful. The invention relates also to pharmaceutical preparations for humans and other mammals containing one or more oligonucleotides, nucleotide analogs, or non-nucleotide disrupter compounds.
