ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVES</b>To determine the effect of destroying capsaicin-sensitive primary afferents (CSPA) fibers on paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) induced by the direct compression of L5 nerve root with autologous disc.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The procedure used autologous disc of the rats from the coccygeal intervertebral discs to apply direct pressure to the L5 dorsal root. PWMT was measured at the different time points post-surgery and pre-surgery. The changes in spatial expression pattern of c-fos protein in the spinal cord were also determined at 3 weeks when PWMT decreased to the peak.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The pretreatment with capsaicin produced a complete prevention of mechanical hyperalgesia induced by disc compression. The direct compression of L5 nerve root produced an obvious expression of fos-like immunoreactivity neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, which was significantly decreased by pretreatment with capsaicin.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The study shows that CSPA fibers, which mainly terminated in superficial layers of dorsal horn, may play a key role in mechanical hyperalgesia in the new sciatica model.</p>
