No references found | Conventional wisdom was that the nociceptive neurons in the skin can't tell the difference between heat and mechanical pain, like a pin prick. Nociceptive processing after SCI is apparently more complicated; inhibition of below-level spinal nociceptive neurons by 5-HT has been found to be reversed by both 5-HT1A and 5-HT3 antagonists [57], but spinal 5-HT3 receptors have also been shown to facilitate at-level allodynia after SCI [58-59]. However, it was known that constriction induced by acetic acid was considered to be a non-selective anti-nociceptive model, since acetic acid indirectly induced the release of endogenous mediators stimulated the nociceptive neurons that were sensitive to non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (Sanchez-Mateo et al. |
