| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Central post-stroke pain (CPSP) including thalamic pain is one of the most troublesome sequelae that can occur after a cerebrovascular accident. CPSP is often treatment-refractory, painful sensations can be a major problem. To better understand of the pathophysiological basis of CPSP, we developed and characterized a new mouse model of thalamic it. This model is based on a hemorrhagic stroke lesion with collagenase in the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus. Histopathological analysis indicated that the thalamic hemorrhage produced a relatively confined lesion that destroys the tissue within the initial bleed, and also showed the presence of activated microglia adjacent to the core of hemorrhagic lesions. Behavioral analysis demonstrated using several drugs which effects were recognized clinically. These results suggest that this model might be proved as a useful animal model for studying the neuropathology of thalamic syndrome, and developing improved therapeutics for CPSP.
