Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the mechanical sensitivity, expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) and distribution of peripheral nerve fiber in skeletal muscle and central sensitization in spinal cord, after cast immobilization of rat limb. This examination was based on our hypothesis that immobilization of limb induces a muscular pain similar to fibromyalgia. At the result, mechanical hypersensitivity and increases in NGF and C nerve fibers was shown in medial gastrocnemius muscle after immobilization of ankle joint by cast. These changes lead to the increase of CGRP in dorsal horn of spinal cord and phenotype switch in DRG neuron which lead to central sensitivity. We suggested that the immobilization-induced pain could be used as a model of fibromyalgia.
