Neuropathic pain is a chronic debilitating disease that results from nerve damage, persists long after the injury has subsided, and is characterized by spontaneous pain and mechanical hypersensitivity. Although loss of inhibitory tone in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord is a major contributor to neuropathic pain, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this disinhibition are unclear. Here, we combined pharmacogenetic activation and selective ablation approaches in mice to define the contribution of spinal cord parvalbumin (PV)-expressing inhibitory interneurons in naive and neuropathic pain conditions. Ablating PV neurons in naive mice produce neuropathic pain-like mechanical allodynia via disinhibition of PKCγ excitatory interneurons. Conversely, activating PV neurons in nerve-injured mice alleviates mechanical hypersensitivity. These findings indicate that PV interneurons are modality-specific filters that gate mechanical but not thermal inputs to the dorsal horn and that increasing PV inter-neuron activity can ameliorate the mechanical hypersensitivity that develops following nerve injury. Improved therapy for neuropathic pain requires a better understanding of the spinal cord neuronal networks that process peripheral sensory inputs in health and disease. Petitjean et al. find that a subset of inhibitory interneurons, containing the marker parvalbumin (PV), prevent touch inputs from activating pain circuits. After nerve injury, a decrease is seen in the number of these synapses, and light touch can elicit pain.
