Hyperbaric factor intensifies spinal neuron apoptosis in diabetic rats with pain.
The researchers wanted to see how hyperbaric treatment affects nerve cells in rats with diabetic nerve pain. They used rats with diabetes and gave them lidocaine injections under different conditions. They found that hyperbaric lidocaine caused more nerve cell death compared to regular lidocaine. This suggests that hyperbaric treatment can make nerve cells die in rats with diabetic nerve pain.
