Trauma to a peripheral nerve is followed by anatomical remodelling proximal to the lesion, including sprouting of perivascular axons to form baskets of noradrenergic terminals (“rings”) around large diameter primary afferent somata in the dorsal root ganglia containing lesioned neurons11,15and sprouting of Aβ axons terminating deep in the dorsal horn into Lamina 11.19These abnormal structural associations may contribute to the changes in sensory processing that lead to neuropathic pain. The trigger for sprouting of sympathetic axons is probably a neurotrophin (such as nerve growth factor) concentrated locally.14,20Nerve growth factor messenger RNA is known to be increased in dorsal root ganglia after sciatic nerve transection18and increased local nerve growth factor elicits collateral sprouting of intact sympathetic terminals into adjacent denervated skin.3,5Nociceptive terminals containing calcitonin gene-related peptide, with or without substance P,6also sprout in response to raised concentrations of nerve growth factor.3We have found that axons of small sensory neurons immunoreactive for these peptides also form rings around large diameter dorsal root ganglion cells of adult rats after sciatic nerve transection, concurrently with the development of rings of noradrenergic terminals.11
