Abstract:
Neuropathic pain is a common chronic pain with complicated underlying mechanisms and difficult to treat, which badly disturbs the daily life of the patient and presents a significant burden to society by increasing healthcare resource utilization and costs. In the recent years, the pivotal role of glia-centered neuroinflammation and neuroimmunity in the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain has been recognized gradually. This review presents the current understanding of the role of glia in neuropathic pain and therapies of glia modulation.
