Acute Pain Model Development Service

Are you currently facing challenges in identifying effective analgesic drug candidates, managing complex preclinical studies, or ensuring the translational relevance of your pain research? Our advanced acute pain models at Creative Biolabs help you accelerate drug discovery and obtain high-quality, translatable data through meticulously validated in vivo models and comprehensive mechanistic analyses.

Acute pain, typically a transient and protective response to tissue injury or disease, remains a significant clinical challenge with substantial healthcare burdens if unmanaged. Its well-understood pathophysiological mechanisms, involving neuro-mediator release (e.g., bradykinin, serotonin) following noxious stimuli, form the basis for developing sophisticated preclinical models. These models are crucial for systematically investigating pain pathways and evaluating novel analgesic therapies, thereby accelerating drug discovery efforts to address this pervasive unmet medical need.

Acute Pain Models

At CBL, we offer a meticulously curated and validated portfolio of acute pain models in both mouse and rat, each optimized to address specific pain modalities and mechanistic questions. Our experienced team ensures precise execution, robust data collection, and insightful analysis.

• Thermal Nociception Models

These models assess sensitivity to thermal stimuli (heat and cold), common features of inflammatory and neuropathic pain. They are widely used for screening compounds targeting transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and other thermal sensing pathways.

• Mechanical Nociception Models

These models quantify sensitivity to mechanical stimuli, addressing mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia, which are prominent features of various pain states.

• Chemical and Inflammatory Pain Models

These models induce acute pain through the injection of chemical irritants or pro-inflammatory agents, mimicking tissue injury and inflammation.

• Advanced Readouts and Mechanistic Insights

Beyond core behavioral assessments, CBL leverages advanced techniques to provide deeper mechanistic insights:

While highly valuable, it is important to acknowledge that animal models, while rigorously developed, cannot fully replicate the complex multidimensionality of human pain, particularly its psychological and social components. Our approach, however, aims to provide the most physiologically relevant and translatable data possible within these parameters, adhering to the 3Rs framework (Reduction, Refinement, Replacement) for ethical research.
