The CatWalk gait analysis system has recently been suggested as a rapid and objective alternative method over the von Frey test to assess mechanical allodynia in chronic neuropathic pain models. Our results demonstrate that no correlation exists between the development of mechanical allodynia and changes in CatWalk-gait parameters in a chronic inflammatory pain model. Hence, the use of the CatWalk in assessment of experimental chronic pain is discussed.
最近有人提出,与冯·弗里(von Frey)测试相比,CatWalk步态分析系统是一种快速且客观的替代方法,可用于评估慢性神经病理性疼痛模型中的机械性异常性疼痛。我们的结果表明,在慢性炎症性疼痛模型中,机械性异常性疼痛的发展与CatWalk步态参数的变化之间不存在相关性。因此,本文讨论了使用CatWalk评估实验性慢性疼痛的情况。
