Research Progress of Microglia on Mediating Central Post-Stroke Pain
Central post-stroke pain(CPSP)is a common neuropathic pain syndrome associated with stroke,which severely affects the outcome and life quality of stroke patients.In recent years,more and more attention has been paid to the study of the pathological mechanism of CPSP.Microglia,the resident macrophage within the central nervous system,is considered to play a critical role in the development of CPSP.The present review summarized recent research progress of microglia in mediating CPSP from the perspective of bioactive factors,cellular receptors,and signaling pathways,and described the preclinical therapeutic effects of several compounds on CPSP,hoping to promote the development of targeted therapeutic strategies for CPSP.
