Mechanisms of Neuropathic Pain and Pain-Relieving Effects of Exercise Therapy in a Rat Neuropathic Pain Model.
Abstract
Pain disrupts the daily and social lives of patients with neuropathic pain. Effective treatment of neuropathic pain is difficult. Pharmacological treatments for neuropathic pain are limited, and 40-60% of patients do not achieve even partial relief of their pain. This study created a chronic constriction injury (CCI) model in rats to examine the effects of regular exercise on neuropathic pain relief, elucidate the mechanism, and determine the effects of neuropathic pain in the hippocampus.
