Abstract

Bone cancer pain (BCP) remains a clinical challenge due to the limited and side effects of therapeutic methods. Folic acid has been known as an FDA approved dietary supplement and proved to have an analgesic effect in neuropathic pain. Here we investigate the role and mechanism of folic acid in bone cancer pain of a rat model.
