NP implantation decreases PWT and PWL of ipsilateral hindpaws of rats. (a) PWT in ipsilateral hindpaws of NP group decrease significantly on day 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 after surgery compared with sham group (n = 12/group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). PWT in contralateral hindpaws are not different between NP and sham group. (b) PWL in ipsilateral hindpaws of NP group decrease significantly on day 5, 10, 15, and 20 after surgery compared with sham group (n = 12/group, *P < 0.05). PWL in contralateral hindpaws are not different between NP and sham group. NP: nucleus pulposus; PWL: paw withdrawal latency; PWT: paw withdrawal threshold.
