[Neurogenic inflammation and arthritis].
Over the past decade, numerous studies have supported the involvement of the sensory and sympathetic nervous system in the regulation of inflammation. This article reviews the neurogenic mechanisms and mediators of the sensory nervous system involved in the generation of inflammatory responses. The implications of neuropeptide-induced immunoregulation are discussed in the context of inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.
