Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic degenerative disease, leads to pain and loss of function. Existing treatments for OA pain have limited efficacy and show significant side effects. Dimethyl fumarate, a robust nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activator, could alleviate pain behaviors in chronic pain. This study aims to investigate the role of dimethyl fumarate in a rat model of OA and its underlying mechanisms.
