Summary : Numerous improvements in our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie neuropathic pain states have come from the development of animal models, most of which involve partial peripheral nerve injury. The animal models have shown that nerve injury initiates a cascade of events resulting in altered

Summary : The process of inflammation, which causes the swelling and redness around a wound, is a vital part of the body's system for fighting off infections. When the body is hurt, the immune system produces chemical signals telling cells to multiply without dying, allowing skin to close over a gash, for exa

Summary : All health care professionals dealing with pain states are concerned with hyperalgesia. For the basic scientist, hyperalgesia is a fascinating consequence of the plasticity of the nociceptive nervous system. Our knowledge on the pathomechanisms of different forms of hyperalgesia has greatly increase
