Assessment of behavioral hypersensitivity after chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve in rats treated with methanol fraction (MeF) (20 mg/kg/day, i.p.) from leaves of Schinus terebinthifolius for 10 days. (a) Latency time against heat stimuli; (b) mechanical hypersensitivity. Data represent the means ± SEM (n = 6 for each group). ∗ indicates a significant difference compared to pre-nerve lesion values (repeated-measures ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test, P < 0.05).
