Behavior
Conduct extensive pain, sensory, motor, and cognitive behavioral testing.
MD Biosciences provides specialized pig and rodent models tailored for preclinical pain research, with a focus on neuropathic pain resulting from peripheral nervous system injury. Discover our comprehensive models and assessments, designed to advance the understanding of pain mechanisms and support the development of effective therapies.
The figure shows body load distribution in the symptomatic neuroma pig model. Two months after surgery, pigs carry more weight on the intact hind leg compared to the operated hind leg.
EXPLORE RESOURCESThe figure shows responses to von Frey testing in PNT pigs treated with various interventions. Fourteen days post-PNT, gabapentin increases withdrawal thresholds in a dose- and time-dependent manner, while Aprepitant shows no effect, consistent with human data.
The figure shows pain responses to von Frey testing in the STZ model, revealing differences between males and females. In males, the response remains steady, while in females, the response is smaller, reverses on day 25, and decreases on day 28.
