Article Synopsis
- - Provoked vulvodynia (PV) causes vulvar pain and is linked to inflammation, increased mast cells, and higher sensitivity in the vulva; this study aims to investigate these factors using a rat model.
- - The researchers measured vulvar sensitivity over 5 months after inducing inflammation in rats and looked at levels of glutamate and nerve growth factor (NGF), as well as changes in sensory neurons.
- - Results showed that inflamed rats had lasting sensitivity, increased levels of NGF and glutamate, and heightened mast cell activity, suggesting that vulvar pain is driven by these inflammatory responses and can be modulated by the mast cell stabilizer ketotifen fumarate.
