Research Abstract

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is an intractable chronic pain syndrome with various signs and symptoms including allodynia/hyperalgesia, edema, swelling, and skin abnormalities. However, a definitive therapeutic treatment for CRPS has not been established. In CRPS patients, inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1β have been shown to increase in affected areas, suggesting that these molecules may be potential therapeutic targets for CRPS. In this study, we found that the abnormal expression changes of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) and Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA), and the abnormal activity of inflammation-related cells (macrophages and microglia).
