STUDY PROTOCOL
EVALUATION OF TEST SAMPLE FOR INFLAMMATORY PAIN USING CARRAGEENAN INDUCED INFLAMMATORY PAIN IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS
1.0 INTRODUCTION:
Pain is an essential adaptive response for the protection
of the integrity of organism and arises in response to actual or potential
tissue-damaging stimuli. In some instances, the component of pain persists
despite the resolution of the inflammatory injury state. There are various
components to an inflammatory pain reaction that can contribute to the
associated symptoms and tissue injury. Chronic inflammation pain can cause
persistent tissue damage and unwarranted pain due to the release of
inflammatory mediators, including bradykinin, prostaglandins, and various
cytokines, released locally during tissue damage or by inflammatory cells.
Inflammatory pain is characterized by increased activity of primary afferent
nerves (nociceptors), resulting in spontaneous pain, hyperalgesia, and
allodynia.

4.0 METHODOLOGY:
·
The study protocol (Form B)
shall be approved from the IAEC before commencing the experiment.
·
Animals shall be procured from
the CPCSEA authorized vendor.
·
Animals shall be quarantined
for 1 week as per the in house SOP.
·
Healthy animals will be
selected, randomized based on body weight and divided into five different
groups consisting of 8 animals each.
·
To induce inflammatory pain
the mice will be injected 20 µL of 1% carrageenan into the plantar surface of
the right hind paw.
·
Pain behavior assay Hot Plate
test and Rota rod test will be carried out blindly before drug and then at intervals
of 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min and 150 min after carrageenan injection.
·
Each animal will be tested
three times for single recording with a 5 seconds interval between the two
measurements to nullify the previous effect.
·
The treatment schedule will be
as follows:
·
Group G1 animal will be
treated as normal control and treated with normal saline or Na- CMC.
·
Animals of group G2 will be
treated as disease control and administered with normal saline or Na- CMC.
·
Animals of group G3 will be
treated orally with dexamethasone at the dose of 1mg/kg.
·
Group G4 and G5 animals will
be treated with test compound at different dose levels.
·
All drug or vehicle and test
compound will be administered to animals 1h before carrageenan challenge.
