Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound Increases Duration of Anti-Nociceptive Responses in Female Common Peroneal Nerve Injury Rats.
Abstract
Chronic pain affects 7%-10% of Americans, occurs more frequently and severely in females, and available treatments have been shown to have less efficacy in female patients. Preclinical models addressing sex-specific treatment differences in the treatment of chronic pain have been limited. Here we examine the sex-specific effects of low intensity focused ultrasound (liFUS) in a modified sciatic nerve injury (SNI) model.
