“…TRPV1 is a nociception factor, which has pro-inflammatory effects in peripheral neuropathic pain (Kanai et al, 2005). The evidence of elevated TRPV1 demonstrates that hyperalgesia induced by injury depends on the sensitization of TRPV1 (Kim et al, 2014). Injury induces a release of inflammatory mediators, which lowers the threshold for the detection of painful levels of heat, a process known as heat hyperalgesia (Zhang et al, 2008).…”
