Effect of sciatic nerve pulsed radiofrequency glial activation levels in spinal dorsal horn in chronic constriction injury rat models and its analgesia effect / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe the effect of sea tic nerve pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) on the activation levels of microglia cells and astrocytes in spinal dorsal horn in the chronic constriction injury (CCD rat models, and to explore the relationships between the analgesic mechanism of sciatic nerve PRF and the activation levels of microglia cells and astrocytes in the spinal dorsal horn- Methods: Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into CCI shamoperation+RPF sham group (SS group). CC1 sham-operation + RPF group (SP group). CCI+RPF sham group (CS group). CCI+ RPF group (CP group) ( n 10). PRF was applied on the sciatic nerve on the 4th day after CC1 operation for 120 s, with a maximum temperature of 42"C. The mechanical withdrawal thresholds (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latencies 0. 05). Conclusion- PRF on sciatic nerve can relieve the neuropathic pain (NT) of the CCI rat models PRF on saatic nerve can inhibit activation of the microglia cells in the spinal dorsal horn. The analgeac mechanism of PRF on sciatic nerve may be associated with the inhibition of the activation of microglia cells in the spinal dorsal horn.
