Abstract
⺠Previously we showed that CGRP can increase ectopic discharge at nerve injury sites. ⺠Here we monitor the effect of anti-CGRP antibody on injured nerve fibre activity. ⺠Systemic anti-CGRP does not modify activity in injured lingual nerve fibres. ⺠Activity in injured lingual nerve fibres is not affected by sequestration of CGRP. ⺠Other modulators may offer better therapeutic targets for nerve injury-induced pain.
