PSNL-induced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia in WT and Cav3.2 KO mice. (a) and (b) Time courses of mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia of sham and PSNL mice over a period of 14 days after operation (WT-sham: n = 4, WT-PSNL: n = 4; KO-sham: n = 9, and KO-PSNL: n = 10). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, compared with sham. ^#p < 0.05, ^##p < 0.01, compared with KO-PSNL mice. PSNL: partial sciatic nerve ligation; WT: wild-type; KO: knockout; PWT: paw withdrawal threshold; PWL: paw withdrawal latency.
