Rat Model of Lumbar Facet Joint Osteoarthritis Associated With Facet-mediated Mechanical Hyperalgesia Induced by Intra-articular Injection of Monosodium Iodoacetate
The relationship between lumbar facet joint (LFJ) osteoarthritis (OA) and back pain remains unclear. An OA model associated with joint pain was successfully induced by monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) in rat knees. We aimed to establish an experimental OA model with facet-mediated mechanical hyperalgesi...
