CALCA and peripheral neuropathy: Because of the need for effective pharmacotherapies to treat TIPN that are developed in rodent pharmacological models with well characterized gold-standard drugs, the present study examined whether treatment with gabapentin would affect total (IENF) and peptidergic (CGRP-I/II) nerve fiber density at a time point where it alleviates allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia in a mouse model of acute Taxol-induced peripheral neuropathy.
