Intrathecal injection of spironolactone attenuates radicular pain by inhibition of spinal microglia activation in a rat model.
Microglia might play an important role in nociceptive processing and hyperalgesia by neuroinflammatory process. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) expressed on microglia might play a central role in the modulation of microglia activity. However the roles of microglia and MR in radicular pain were not w...
