From: Large A-fiber activity is required for microglial proliferation and p38 MAPK activation in the spinal cord: different effects of resiniferatoxin and bupivacaine on spinal microglial changes after spared nerve injury

Figure 2

Effects of nerve block with bupivacaine microspheres (Bup, A) and resiniferatoxin (RTX, B) on mechanical sensitivity before and two days after spared nerve injury (SNI). SNI-induced mechanical allodynia, i.e. decrease in paw withdrawal threshold, is not prevented by RTX treatment. Baseline pain sensitivity was tested before drug treatment and nerve injury *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
