Chronic pain is one of the most troublesome sequelae of stroke. It is reported that about 11–55% of stroke patients will suffer chronic pain.
Pain after stroke is related to the activation of microglia; there is an urgent need to understand the associated pathophysiological mechanism.
This paper reviews studies of the molecular mechanisms of hemorrhagic stroke (HS), especially the activation of microglia and the relationship between microglia and pain after stroke.
Microglia are a therapeutic target for hemorrhagic stroke and HS-related pain.
