ABSTRACT:
Methods for producing nondestructive nerve alterations and/or compressions in animals are provided. The animals provide a model of persistent neurogenic and neuropathic pain in humans. Also provided is a method for screening agents for activity in the treatment of persistent neuropathic pain, as well as methods for use in developing agents for treatment of neuropathic pain. Also provided are methods for detecting and monitoring physiologic changes in persistent pain.
