ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to investigate if Pulsating Magnetic Therapy (PMT) could modify the pain response in the peripheral neuropathy produced by sciatic nerve ligation in the rat. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were anaesthetized and the right sciatic nerve loosely ligated in the mid-thigh. A second group were sham operated. Starting on the fifth post-operative day, half of each group of animals were subjected to one hour of PMT for five consecutive days. The pain response was measured on both sides, using radiant heat method on post-operative days five, seven and nine. The animals with the ligated sciatic nerve developed the typical neuropathic syndrome on the operated limb. Following PMT, the pain-induced withdrawal response was significantly decreased in the nerve-ligated limbs compared with the sham operated group on days five and seven after surgery. On day 9, no differences in pain-induced withdrawal response were noted. No statistically significant differences in withdrawal response of the unaffected hind paw was noted in any of the animals. It was concluded that PMT reduces hyperalgesia induced by sciatic nerve ligation in rats and that PMT does not produce direct analgesic effect in acute pain (AU)
