We report that nerve injury depress levels of SCN10A-specific mRNA in contralateral as well as ipsilateral dorsal root ganglia of rats, suggesting a possible peripheral mechanism for the contralateral ‘mirror-image’ hyperalgesia described in nerve-injured humans and experimental animalsen-USJournal Article2018-04-24199710.1016/S0169-328X(97)00239-8
