title: [Morphological and physiological changes of the nervous system in chronic painful peripheral neuropathy].
abstract: Peripheral nerve injury may result in many kinds of sensory disorders such as hyperalgesia, dysesthesia, causalgia, etc. This paper mainly reviews the changes in morphology and physiological function occuring in the chronic painful peripheral neuropathy of two kinds of animal models which are now generally used to study the mechanisms of chronic neuropathic pain.
