Nonneuronal central mechanisms of pain: glia and immune response.

Abstract excerpt

The role of central glial cells in the mechanisms underlying pain has been intensively studied in the last two decades. Most studies on glia and pain focused on the potential detrimental role of glial cells following noxious stimulus/insults manifested as an "activation" or a "reactive" state (increase in glial marker expression and production of proinflammatory/nociceptive molecules).
