Abstract

Neuropathic corneal pain (NCP) is a debilitating condition affecting millions of people worldwide. Despite their critical importance, currently available animal models for NCP research are limited by complex surgeries with high-risk strategy. To advance fundamental understanding of NCP, we developed a novel rodent model that explores both structural and functional mechanisms of the disease, offering a comprehensive approach.
