Neuropathic Pain Model Development Service

Are you currently facing limited therapeutic options, high clinical attrition rates, and complex underlying mechanisms in neuropathic pain drug development? Our neuropathic pain models service helps you accelerate drug discovery, identify novel therapeutic targets, and evaluate promising candidates through state-of-the-art preclinical models and advanced in vivo measures.

Neuropathic pain, a complex chronic condition arising from somatosensory nervous system damage, remains a significant unmet medical need. Current therapies often provide inadequate relief, emphasizing the critical role of robust preclinical models in drug discovery. These models, primarily utilizing rodents, are essential for unraveling disease mechanisms and evaluating novel analgesic compounds. They faithfully replicate key human pain behaviors, offering a predictive platform for identifying effective treatments.

Neuropathic Pain Models

CBL offers an extensive array of validated preclinical models for neuropathic pain, meticulously designed to address diverse etiologies and therapeutic hypotheses. Our expertise spans a wide spectrum, ensuring that your drug discovery program is supported by the most appropriate and rigorously executed rodent (and where applicable, larger animal) models.

1. Mechanical Nerve Injury Models

These models are fundamental for studying pain resulting from direct nerve trauma, a common cause of neuropathic pain in humans (e.g., due to surgery, accidents, or compression). We provide comprehensive characterization of these models, allowing for precise evaluation of novel analgesics:

  • Chronic Constriction Injury (CCI)
  • Spinal Nerve Ligation (SNL)
  • Partial Sciatic Nerve Ligation (PSNL)
  • Tibial Nerve Injury (TNI)
  • Spared Nerve Injury (SNI)

2. Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) Models

CIPN is a debilitating side effect of many chemotherapeutic agents, significantly impacting cancer patients' quality of life and often leading to dose reduction or discontinuation of treatment. Our models accurately recapitulate the sensory neuropathic symptoms associated with various chemotherapies, addressing the critical problem of cumulative dose-limiting toxicity due to painful neuropathy.

  • Paclitaxel-Induced Neuropathy
  • Oxaliplatin-Induced Neuropathy
  • Bortezomib-Induced Neuropathy

3. Diabetic Neuropathy Models

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a major complication of diabetes, leading to chronic pain, numbness, and increased risk of ulcers. Our models provide critical platforms for evaluating therapies for this pervasive condition:

  • Streptozotocin (STZ)-Induced Diabetes Models

Advanced Readouts and Translational Insights

Generating robust in vivo data requires more than just established models; it demands sophisticated readout capabilities and a deep understanding of translational science. CBL provides a comprehensive suite of endpoint analyses to extract maximum value from your studies:

Assessment Description
Behavioral Assessments
  • Von Frey Filaments: Quantifies mechanical allodynia (threshold to withdrawal).
  • Randall-Selitto Test: Measures mechanical hyperalgesia (paw withdrawal latency to increasing pressure).
  • Cold Plate/Acetone Spray Test: Assesses cold allodynia/hyperalgesia.
  • Dynamic Weight Bearing: Objectively measures weight distribution and spontaneous pain.
  • Gait Analysis: Observation and quantification of changes in gait patterns, such as limping, indicative of pain.
  • Nocifensive Signs: Qualitative and quantitative assessment of spontaneous pain behaviors, including excessive grooming, paw licking, guarding of the affected limb, exploratory behavior changes, and biting at the injury site.
Biomarker Analysis
  • Measurement of key inflammatory mediators, neurotrophic factors, neurotransmitters, and other biochemical markers in tissues (e.g., spinal cord, DRG, nerve) or biofluids to understand mechanistic action.
Histopathology and Immunohistochemistry
  • Detailed analysis of nerve damage, axonal degeneration, demyelination, and cellular changes (e.g., glial activation, immune cell infiltration) within the nervous system.
Electrophysiology
  • Functional assessment of nerve conduction velocity, providing insights into nerve integrity and function.

Our integrated approach ensures that every study yields high-quality, reproducible data, bridging the gap between preclinical findings and clinical relevance.
