Abstract
More and more studies have shown that the neuron-inflammatory is related to pain sensitization. Under inflammatory conditions, the immune cells in nerve system undergo metabolism reprogramming, glycolysis become the mainly energy resource, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid, succinic acid, citric acid and other metabolites. At the same time, these metabolites have pro-inflammatory effects, and play a positive role in the development of pain. This review summarized the role of glucose metabolism reprogramming and its related metabolites in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain (NP) under the stimulation of chronic inflammation, to broaden the thinking for the treatment of NP.
Key words:
