Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We hypothesized that muscle injury with persistent inflammation would induce persistent postoperative pain (PPOP). We prepared two types of muscle injury, plantar muscle incision and plantar muscle cryoinjury caused by liquid nitrogen of the rat hind paw. Plantar muscle cryoinjury induced greater mechanical hyperalgesia from day 5 to 8 and spontaneous pain from day 3 to 7 compared with plantar muscle incision. In plantar muscle cryoinjury, the number of inflammatory cells in injured muscle and spinal Iba-1 expression were significantly higher compared with those in plantar muscle incision. Taken together, plantar muscle cryoinjury is a more appropriate model of PPSP compared with plantar muscle incision. This model effectively reflected the characteristics of PPSP. In addition, the results of this study suggest that spinal microglial activation is involved in the pathogenic mechanism of PPOP.
