[Chronic hyperesthesia in rats caused by lesions in the dorsal roots of the branchial plexus].
Traumatic avulsions of the brachial plexus in Man is followed by development of hyperesthesia which is known to be reistant to pharmacological medication. We have been able to reproduce this syndrome in the Rat and have used this disturbed animal as a model. This model will give us the possibility of studying nervous mechanisms responsible for these abnormal pains and to look for effective treatments.
