Descending controls modulate inflammatory joint pain and regulate CXC chemokine and iNOS expression in the dorsal horn
Conclusions:
These findings demonstrate that joint pain behaviour is dependent in part on descending facilitation via the RVM, and identify a novel pathway driving CXC chemokine and iNOS expression in the dorsal horn.
