| Research Abstract |
Since orofacial cancer-induced pain causes difficulties in eating, the symptoms of patients with orofacial cancer may be more severe than those of patients with cancer in other regions. In the present study, we investigated mechanism of cancer-induced pain in a rat facial cancer model. Consequently, we have demonstrated that cancer-induced pain is caused by central glial hyper-activation, independently on inflammation and nerve injury. The result suggests that anti-glial activation drugs may be available to inhibit cancer-induced pain in clinical side.
