Abstract
The goal of this study was to investigate the role of the cannabinoid receptor type-2 (CB2R) in the trigeminal pain pathway in a model of post-concussion headache. Sprague Dawley rats were randomized to receive either a repeated mild closed head injury (CHI) or served as incision controls. Changes in CGRP, nNOS, and IBA-1 were assessed in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC) and trigeminal ganglia via IHC. A subset of CHI rats received either a cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) anti-inflammatory agonist (JWH133), an NSAID (Ketorolac), or vehicle and underwent von Frey testing for trigeminal allodynia. …
