Abstract

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition characterized by inflammatory features, though the underlying mechanisms remain partly understood. Our study examined whether Wnt5a in skin keratinocytes contributes to CRPS-related pain hypersensitivity by activating downstream N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit 2B (NR2B) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) signaling in rats.
