Electroacupuncture Regulates Pain Transition by Inhibiting the mGluR5-PKCε Signaling Pathway in the Dorsal Root Ganglia.
Abstract
Acute pain can transition to chronic pain, presenting a major clinical challenge. Electroacupuncture (EA) can partly prevent the transition from acute to chronic pain. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying the effect of EA. This study investigated the effect of EA on pain transition and the activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5)-protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) signaling pathway in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG).
