Chronic Constriction Injury (CCI) Model
Creative Bioarray offers the widely recognized surgical model of neuropathic pain, the Chronic Constriction Injury (CCI) model, to facilitate the preclinical evaluation of analgesic drug efficacy for our clients. This model is meticulously designed to simulate the complex pathophysiology of neuropathic pain, enabling researchers to explore the mechanisms underlying this condition and to assess the potential of novel therapeutic interventions. Through our services, clients gain access to a reliable and reproducible platform for testing the efficacy of analgesics, contributing to the advancement of pain management therapies.
Chronic neuropathic pain, a consequence of injury to the central or peripheral nervous system, is a pervasive and incapacitating disorder. Its manifestations encompass spontaneous sensations such as tingling, burning, or electric shock-like pain, dysesthesia, paresthesia, allodynia (pain elicited by typically non-noxious stimuli), and hyperalgesia (an amplified response to painful stimuli). To investigate chronic neuropathic pain, various animal models simulating peripheral nerve injury have been engineered, among which Bennett and Xie's unilateral sciatic nerve CCI model is one of the most extensively employed.
Our Chronic Constriction Injury (CCI) Model
- Available Animal
Rat
- Modeling Method
After anesthetization, the left sciatic nerves of rats are exposed. In the CCI group, four chromic gut sutures are tied loosely around the nerve at four segments with approximately 1-mm intervals. In the sham group, the sciatic nerves are exposed without ligation.

- Endpoints
- Clinical observation
- Body weight
- Behavioral tests: Von Frey test, Hot plate test, etc.
- qPCR or Western blot
- Histology analysis
- Other customized endpoints
Example Data
Fig. 2 Paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) and paw withdrawal latency (PWL) were assessed at day 0, 3, 7, 14. (Gao et al. 2019)
Fig.3 H&E staining was performed to detect inflammation response of nerve fiber. (Gao et al. 2019)
