Paw Incision Model Development Service

Post-surgical pain remains a significant challenge in healthcare, impacting patient recovery, quality of life, and healthcare costs. Are you currently facing challenges in accurately modeling post-surgical pain for novel analgesic development, leading to prolonged drug discovery cycles? Our paw incision model development service helps you accelerate drug discovery and obtain high-quality, translatable preclinical data through advanced, standardized surgical techniques and comprehensive behavioral assessments.

The paw incision model development service at Creative Biolabs provides a robust platform for investigating post-operative pain. This service is built upon the foundational work by Brennan and colleagues, who established the initial rat model, and subsequent adaptations for mice by Pogatzki–Zahn and Raja. These models are widely recognized for their ability to reliably induce and characterize acute inflammatory and neuropathic pain components, mirroring human post-surgical conditions. Our expertise ensures these clinically relevant models support your research with high fidelity.

Paw Incision Model

The paw incision model stands as a cornerstone in preclinical pain research, recognized globally for its ability to reliably induce and characterize post-operative pain. Originally described by Brennan and colleagues and later adapted for mice by Pogatzki–Zahn and Raja, this model accurately replicates the acute inflammatory and neuropathic components of post-surgical pain experienced by patients. It involves a controlled incision on the plantar surface of the hind paw, leading to predictable and quantifiable pain behaviors. This widely adopted model is a testament to its reliability and clinical relevance across various research institutions.

The efficacy of the paw incision model lies in its:

• Clinical Relevance: It closely mimics the tissue injury and subsequent pain pathways activated during human surgical procedures, making it highly translatable.
• Reliability and Reproducibility: Standardized surgical techniques and behavioral assessments ensure consistent and reproducible results, crucial for robust data generation.
• Comprehensive Pain Assessment: The model allows for the evaluation of various pain modalities, including mechanical, thermal, and cold hypersensitivity, providing a holistic view of the pain experience.
