PRE-INJURY MECHANORECEPTOR ABLATION REDUCES NOCICEPTOR-DRIVEN SPINAL CORD INJURY-INDUCED NEUROPATHIC PAIN

This study investigates the role of mechanoreceptors and nociceptors in spinal cord injury-induced neuropathic pain, finding that early mechanoreceptor ablation reduces pain behavior, while nociceptor hyperexcitability and sprouting are key drivers of pain.
