“…The suppression of COX-2 expression caused inhibition of PGE2 release and prevented membrane depolarization. A low membrane potential would inhibit the release of pain neurotransmitters, such as glutamate, decreasing the interaction between glutamate and its receptor NMDAR2B (9,11). The composition between NMDA subunits NR2A and NR2B is essential in the synaptogenesis process, especially in chronic pain.…”

“…Increased PGE2 levels activate nociceptors and stimulate signal transmission from peripheral nerves to the central nervous system through the release of glutamate, a key excitatory neurotransmitter in chronic pain. The binding of glutamate to its receptor, especially the Nmethyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), is related to the sensitization of pain as hyperalgesia and allodynia (8)(9)(10). The NMDAR is composed of two subunits: NR1 and NR2A-NR2D (11).…”

“…Reorganization of cortical neurotransmitters occurs after injury and this can induce central sensitization, hyperalgesia, and allodynia ( 4 , 5 ). Changes in the brain as a result of chronic pain can impact cognitive and emotional health, resulting in poor welfare states ( 6 , 7 ).…”

“…2 Numerous mechanisms are involved at several stages from transduction and transmission through to modulation and perception. 3 Chronic pain is a major source of suffering and one of the most common reasons to consult health care personnel. It interferes with daily living and is often accompanied by significant distress.…”
