BackgroundAmong the current translational inflammatory pain models, the ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is of rapidly growing interest. The development of primary thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia has been observed in humans and rodents. The pig as a translational animal model might be advantageous due to its great homology with humans.MethodsThe skin in the flank of awake pigs was irradiated by a UV-B light source (1J/cm(2)) and changes in thermal and mechanical sensitivity 24 and 48h following irradiation were measured via assessment of nociceptive behaviours.ResultsThermal sensitivity increased significantly within the inflamed site 24h after irradiation as indicated by the reduction of latency to respond to thermal stimulation from baseline to 24h (P
