Animal models are widely used to perform basic scientific research in pain. The rodent chronic constriction injury (CCI) model is widely used to study neuropathic pain. Animals were tested prior and after CCI surgery using behavioral tests (von Frey filaments and Hargreaves test) to evaluate pain. The brain and the lumbar enlargement of the spinal cord were collected from neuropathic and normal animals...
Vanilloid receptors have a central role in the processing of nociceptive stimuli. TRPV1 null mice showed significant decrease in response to heat noxious stimuli. However, thermal sensitivity is still present suggesting that the TRPV1 is not an exclusive transducer of thermal stimuli. Additionally, tachykinin peptides play a central role in pain processing and expression levels may also contribute...
