Capsaicin-induced hyperexcitability of dorsal horn neurons. Peripheral application of capsaicin (such as by intradermal injection) excites afferent Aδ and C fibers. The ongoing input into the dorsal horn of the spinal cord is believed to underlie the development of hyperexcitability of spinal neurons and leads to secondary hyperalgesia and allodynia.
