Background: Peripheral nerve injuries negatively impact the quality of life of patients, with no effective treatment available that accelerates sensorimotor recovery and promotes functional improvement and pain relief. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of diacerein (DIA) in an experimental mice model of sciatic nerve crush.
Method: In this study, male Swiss mice were used, randomly separated into six groups as follows: FO (false-operated + vehicle); FO + DIA (false-operated + diacerein 30 mg/kg); SNI (sciatic nerve injury + vehicle); SNI + DIA in doses of 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg (sciatic nerve injury + treatment with diacerein in doses of 3-30 mg/kg).
