Neuropathic pain

Neuropathic pain

Neuropathic pain follows peripheral or central sensitization after nerve injury and spans mechanical, thermal and cold hypersensitivity. Motor and stress effects should be controlled.

CCI, SNL and SNI provide complementary nerve-injury backgrounds and intervention windows. STZ, chemotherapy and CFA models can extend coverage to indication-specific pain mechanisms.

Pain studies combine blinded behavioral batteries with DRG electrophysiology, inflammatory markers and nociceptive-neuron histology to build a complete evidence chain.

Model strategy

Mechanical, thermal and cold pain with DRG / spinal-cord endpoints.

Match the model and study conditions to candidate mechanism, intervention stage and target tissue.

CCI

Chronic constriction injury

SNL

Spinal nerve ligation

SNI

Spared nerve injury

STZ / chemotherapy

Diabetic or chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain

Evaluation endpoints

Representative data

CCI model | Modeling and supporting evaluation workflow. A CCI evaluation workflow from pain threshold baseline and model establishment to multiple behavioral, molecular and pathological assays; it can be linked to long-term continuous pain threshold testing and supporting analyses.
