Brain Activation in a Cynomolgus Macaque Model of Chymopapain-Induced Discogenic Low Back Pain: A Preliminary Study

Brain Activation in a Cynomolgus Macaque Model of Chymopapain-Induced Discogenic Low Back Pain: A Preliminary Study

Introduction: There is currently a lack of translatable, preclinical models of low back pain (LBP). Chymopapain, a proteolytic enzyme used to treat lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation, could induce discogenic LBP. The current study developed a behavioral model of discogenic LBP in nonhuman p...
