Chronic compression of C7/8 DRGs induces dramatic mechanical hypersensitivity, slight thermal hyperalgesia, and frequent spontaneous nociception in rats. (a) Magnitude and time course of mechanical hypersensitivity (allodynia and hyperalgesia) to plantar Von Frey filaments application observed in CRP rats as compared to sham rats. (b) Showing the development of slight thermal hyperalgesia to radiant heat stimuli in CRP rats. (c) Development of spontaneous nociception in CRP rats, manifesting as lifting, licking, biting of the injured forepaws. Duration of the time spent in all these behaviors was recorded. All data are expressed as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 as compared to their basal levels using repeated measures one-way analysis of variance.
