Pain is a crucial protective mechanism for the body. It alerts us to potential tissue damage or injury and promotes the avoidance of harmful stimuli. Injury-induced inflammation and tissue damage lead to pain sensitization, which amplifies responses to subsequent noxious stimuli even after an initial primary injury has recovered. This phenomenon, commonly referred to as hyperalgesic priming, was investigated in male and female mice to determine whether it is specific to the site of previous injury. We used 10μl of 50 % Freund's complete adjuvant (CFA) administered to the left hind paw as a model of peripheral injury. Both male and female mice exhibited robust site-specific mechanical hypersensitivity after CFA, which resolved within one-week post-injection. After injury resolution, only male CFA-primed mice showed enhanced and prolonged mechanical sensitivity in response to a chemical challenge or a single 0.5 mA electric footshock. Among CFA-primed male mice, shock-induced mechanical hypersensitivity was expressed in both the left (previously injured) and the right (uninjured) hind paws, suggesting a pivotal role for altered centralized processes in the expression of pain sensitization. These findings indicate that pain history regulates sensory responses to subsequent mechanical and chemical pain stimuli in a sex-specific manner-foot-shock-induced hyperalgesic priming expression among male mice generalized beyond the initial injury site.
