INVOLVEMENT OF HYPOGASTRIC AND PELVIC NERVES FOR CONVEYING CYSTITIS INDUCED NOCICEPTION IN CONSCIOUS RATS

Abstract
Conclusions These results confirm the previously reported antinociceptive effect of systemic morphine in this model of cyclophosphamide cystitis, suggest that this antinociceptive action is completely located at the spinal site and most importantly demonstrate by the pharmacological approach and behavioral analysis that nociceptive sensations originating from the bladder are conveyed by hypogastric and pelvic nerves in this cyclophosphamide cystitis model in the conscious rat.
