Which segment to stimulate with spinal cord stimulation in osteoarthritis rat model?

24 February 2016 1 8K Report

I have to write a research proposal as an assignment. It is about the effect of spinal cord stimulation in a rat model of osteoarthritis (OA). I am inducing OA with a monoiodoacetate injection in the knee.

However, I can not find anywhere within the spinal cord segment as the best to stimulate in a rat.

Can anybody please help me with this?

Aung Kyi Winn

I am not sure but I think lumber segment L1 or L2 because some hip case presents with knee pain.
