| Popis: |
The changes in behavioral reactions were studied in cats after incomplete compression of the infraorbital nerve by means of two ligatures as a model of trigeminal neuropathy. It was found that there appeared a behaviour protective the damaged side of the face, sudden standstills of the animals which threw their head back and raised their anterior paws to the face, as well as inhibition of motor activity. Decreases in the nociceptive threshold and the threshold of emotionally affective responses to lip electrostimulation as the sensory threshold increased. These behavioral changes are regarded as signs of spontaneous pain and hyperalgesia in animals with nerve compression, and the used model is considered to be adequate for studying the mechanisms of neuropathic pain. |
