Exercise can relieve established chronic pain in a range of preclinical models and clinical conditions [13; 30; 68]. For example, preclinical and clinical studies have shown that exercise alleviates neuropathic pain [4; 5; 10; 11; 20; 29; 43; 67], a chronic pain condition caused by lesion or disease of the somatosensory system with limited pharmacotherapeutic options [19]. In contrast to prior reports, we and others have shown that voluntary wheel running that ends prior to nerve injury attenuates subsequent neuropathic pain in rodents [20; 66]. Strikingly, protection was maintained for months after injury despite rats having no further running wheel access [20]. Supported by clinical literature, these findings have important public health implications as they suggest that an active lifestyle may prevent neuropathic pain [40; 41; 53]. However, mechanisms by which exercise preconditioning prevents later neuropathic pain are unknown.One hypothesis is that preconditioning prevents disbalance of redox homeostasis following peripheral nerve injury. That is, prior voluntary running may attenuate endogenous production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) after injury. For example, nuclear factor κB (NFκB) and mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) upregulate NADPH oxidases (NOX) and nitric oxide synthases (NOS)[1; 31; 77]. Attenuated NFκB and MAPK activation by prior voluntary running [20] may therefore reduce NOX and NOS expression after peripheral nerve injury. Alternatively, prior voluntary running may prevent disbalance of redox homeostasis by increasing scavenging of ROS/RNS after injury. Repeated bouts of exercise acutely increase ROS production by skeletal muscle, leukocytes, and other cells [48]. In response, exercise increases antioxidant gene expression and protein levels (eg, superoxide dismutase, glutathione) in numerous tissues [14].
