Abstract:Accumulated evidences have demonstrated causative links between neuropathic pain (NP) and immune-mediated inflammatory disorders. However, the role of inflammasome-induced pyroptosis in NP remains elusive. Melatonin possesses a well-documented analgesic action in various pain models. A rat model of spinal nerve ligation was established to explore the potential mechanism of melatonin in pyroptosis. The current study aimed to test our hypothesis that melatonin regulated pyroptosis to alleviate NP by inhibiting N… Show more
