Neuropathic pain is a type of chronic pain induced by either central or peripheral nerve injury. MicroRNAs have been recently linked to many diseases, including neuropathic pain. However, the role of miR-7a in neuropathic pain still remains elusive. Thus, we aim to investigate the effects of miR-7a on neuropathic pain based on the spinal nerve ligation rat model. After establishment of spinal nerve ligation rat models, rats were infected with adeno-associated virus-neurofilament light polypeptide, adeno-associated virus-miR-7a or treated with m...
