A Novel Rat Model to Study Postsurgical Pain After Joint Replacement Surgery.
Authors
Abstract
The mechanisms underlying chronic postsurgical pain after joint replacement (JR) are complex, and it has been suggested that chronic postsurgical pain can develop as a result of inadequate acute pain management. Few studies have addressed acute pain after JR using specific animal models. This study aimed to develop a novel JR model focused on postsurgical pain assessment and the time course of pain recovery.
