Abstract
Constriction of the lumbar root activated microglia in the spinal cord at 1 and 7 days after surgery, and then returned to normal state at 28 days after surgery, while pain behavior continued. These findings suggest that development of lumbar radicular pain may be initiated by activation of microglia.
