Does electroacupuncture improve thermal and mechanical sensitivities in a rat model of postherpetic neuralgia?
EA treatment improves thermal perception by recovering TRPV1-positive sensory neurons and nerve terminals damaged by RTX. EA Also reduces RTX-induced tactile allodynia by attenuating the damage of myelinated afferent nerves and their abnormal sprouting into the spinal lamina II. Our study provides new information about the mechanisms of the therapeutic actions of EA in the treatment of PHN.
The present findings suggest that frequency of meat consumption is positively associated with the risk of CRC.
