FIGURE 1.
Functional priming pain model. Increased mechanosensitivity induced by morphine treatment (priming). (A) Timeline of experimental procedures. Rats were treated with morphine or saline for 7 days. (B) Morphine-treated rats showed decreased paw withdrawal thresholds compared to morphine-treated baseline measures and compared to saline group on day 7 (### p < 0.001, two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s posthoc test, n = 15). By day 21 mechanosensitivity recovered to baseline levels (n.s., p > 0.05, two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s posthoc test, n = 15). Bar histograms show means ± SEM. Symbols represent values of individual rats.
