| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We showed previously that nerve growth factor (NGF) is involved in muscle pain caused by 4 weeks of physical inactivity. Using a rat inactivity model in which both hind limbs were fixed by casts in the full plantar flexion, we studied whether NGF was involved in the muscle pain development even in the initial stage (1-2 weeks) of inactivity We also examined whether macrophages and active oxygen were involved in NGF production, moreover, whether thermal therapies such as a hot pack and an ultrasound treatment influence muscle pain and NGF. As a result, it was clarified that NGF was involved in the muscle pain of the early stage of inactivity. The association between NGF production and macrophages was indeterminate, and the association of NGF production with antioxidant activity was denied. Physical therapies such as hot pack and ultrasound treatment suppressed the inactivity-induced muscle pain, and the hot pack also affected the expression of NGF in dorsal root ganglion.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
不活動状態によって生じる疼痛は、生体内で発痛作用のある神経成長因子（NGF）が早期から産生され、それによって引き起こされていることが明らかとなった。その産生メカニズムについては十分に解明することができなかったが、不活動初期からの温熱療法が有用であることを明らかにした。このことは臨床において寝たきり状態の高齢者だけでなく、外傷などによって活動性が低下した場合やデスクワークなどによる腰痛など不活動性疼痛に対する緩和の一助となる意義ある研究成果であった。
