Morphological and pharmacological evidence for the role of peripheral prostaglandins in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain

W Ma, JC Eisenach - European Journal of Neuroscience, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Inflammatory mediators produced in the injured nerve have been proposed as contributing
factors in the development of neuropathic pain. Prostaglandins (PGs) are probably included …
