T Kiso, T Watabiki, M Tsukamoto, M Okabe, M Kagami… - Neuroscience, 2008 - Elsevier
L5/L6 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) in rodents induces behavioral signs similar to the

Dorsal root section elicits signs of neuropathic pain rather than reversing them in rats with L5 spinal nerve injury

S Eschenfelder, HJ Häbler, W Jänig - Pain, 2000 - Elsevier
Mechanical allodynia-and hyperalgesia-like behavior which develops in rats after L5 spinal

RN Sheth, MJ Dorsi, Y Li, BB Murinson, AJ Belzberg… - Pain, 2002 - Elsevier
An L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) in the rat leads to behavioral signs of mechanical

Contribution of primary sensory neurons and spinal glial cells to pathomechanisms of neuropathic pain

K Obata, K Noguchi - Brain and Nerve= Shinkei Kenkyu no Shinpo, 2008 - europepmc.org

(increased responsiveness to noxious stimuli), and allodynia (painful responses to normally …

L5 spinal nerve axotomy induces sensitization of cutaneous L4 Aβ-nociceptive dorsal root ganglion neurons in the rat in vivo

L Djouhri - Neuroscience Letters, 2016 - Elsevier
Partial nerve injury often leads to peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP), a major health problem
that lacks effective drug treatment. PNP is characterized by ongoing/spontaneous pain, and …

Ligation of mouse L4 and L5 spinal nerves produces robust allodynia without major motor function deficit

GL Ye, KV Savelieva, P Vogel, KB Baker… - Behavioural brain …, 2015 - Elsevier
Spinal nerve L5/L6 ligation (SNL) in rats has become the standard for mechanistic studies of

Behavioral manifestations of neuropathic pain and mechanical allodynia, and changes in spinal dorsal horn neurons, following L4–L6 dorsal root constriction in rats

E Tabo, SL Jinks, JH Eisele Jr, E Carstens - Pain, 1999 - Elsevier
We investigated behavioral symptoms of neuropathic pain, and associated changes in
dorsal horn neurons, in a rat model involving loose ligation of lumbar dorsal roots. The L4 …

A partial L5 spinal nerve ligation induces a limited prolongation of mechanical allodynia in rats: an efficient model for studying mechanisms of neuropathic pain

Y Guan, F Yuan, AF Carteret, SN Raja - Neuroscience letters, 2010 - Elsevier
The relationship between pain severity and the extent of injury to a peripheral nerve remains
elusive. In this study, we compared the pain behavior resulting from partial (1/3–1/2 …
