Spontanous pain was observed as licking, lifting and/or flinching of the affected hind paw. Mice were placed in individual polyvinyl circular containers (25 cm in diameter) on a surface padded with some tissue paper at room temperature. Mice were allowed to roam freely and spontaneous pain was measured in 5-min intervals, as counted by a blinded observer.
