| Abstract |
Modeling visceral pain requires an appreciation of the underlying neurobiology of visceral sensation, including characteristics of visceral pain that distinguish it from pain arising from other tissues, the unique sensory innervation of visceral organs, the functional basis of visceral pain, and the concept of viscero-somatic and viscero-visceral convergence. Further, stimuli that are noxious when applied to the viscera are different than stimuli noxious to skin, muscle, and joints, thus informing model development and assessment. Visceral pain remains an important and understudied area of pain research and basic science knowledge and mechanisms acquired using animal models can translate into approaches that can be applied to the study and development of future therapeutics. |
