项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Acupuncture is an appealing pain control technique in that it can evoke endogenous analgesic mechanisms by minimally invasive means. The mechanisms of acupuncture are not well understood, however, and one of the major problems impeding this understanding is a lack of proper experimental models. The present proposal describes a model of electroacupuncture (EA)- induced analgesia in ankle sprain pain. This model gives a repeatable and quantifiable index of persistent pain in the ankle joint and the preliminary data show that acupuncture at a remote site produces long-lasting analgesia in this model. This is shown by the finding that EA results in about 40% recovery of weight bearing by the hind limb with ankle sprain. This reproducibility and susceptibility to acupuncture will allow one to pursue the neural mechanisms of this phenomenon in considerably greater detail than has previously been possible. Four specific aims are proposed. Aim 1 is to investigate the origin and the fiber size group of afferent nerve fibers mediating EA analgesia using behavioral testing and electrophysiological techniques. Aim 2 is to test if EA induces NE release in the spinal cord by a descending system using pharmacological and neurochemical methods. Aim 3 is to test if ankle sprain induces central sensitization in the spinal cord as well as sensitization of peripheral nociceptors and if EA reduces the level of central sensitization. Aim 4 is to test if EA activates brainstem noradrenergic cell groups, which in turn release NE into the spinal cord. Successful completion of this proposal will unveil important mechanisms underlying acupuncture analgesia in ankle sprain pain. This knowledge can then be applied to acupuncture analgesia in other forms of painful conditions, thereby gaining the insight to establish a maximally effective means of utilizing this endogenous analgesic system. An understanding of these mechanisms is necessary if acupuncture is to move into the mainstream of medical therapy.
描述(由申请人提供):针灸是一种有吸引力的疼痛控制技术,因为它可以通过微创手段引起内源性镇痛机制。但是,针灸的机制尚不清楚,而阻碍这种理解的主要问题之一是缺乏适当的实验模型。本提案描述了踝关节疼痛中电针(EA)诱导镇痛的模型。该模型给出了踝关节持续疼痛的可重复且可量化的指数,初步数据表明,在远程位点的针灸在此模型中会产生持久的镇痛。这表明了这一发现,EA会导致脚踝扭伤的后肢恢复重量约40%。这种重现性和对针灸的敏感性将使人们能够在详细的范围内追求这种现象的神经机制。提出了四个具体目标。目的1是研究使用行为测试和电生理技术介导EA镇痛的传入神经纤维的起源和纤维尺寸组。 AIM 2是使用药理学和神经化学方法来测试EA是否通过降序系统在脊髓中释放NE。 AIM 3是测试踝关节扭伤是否在脊髓中诱导中央敏化,以及外周伤害感受器的敏化以及EA是否降低了中央敏化水平。 AIM 4是测试EA是否激活脑干去甲肾上腺素能细胞基团,后者又将NE释放到脊髓中。该提案的成功完成将揭示脚踝扭伤疼痛中针灸镇痛的重要机制。然后可以将这些知识应用于其他形式的痛苦条件下的针灸镇痛,从而获得了洞察力,以建立一种使用这种内源性镇痛系统的最大有效手段。如果针灸要进入医疗疗法的主流,则必须了解这些机制。
