To observe the effect of electroacupuncture(EA) of bilateral "Futu" (LI 18) on the immunoactivity of substance P (SP), NK-1 receptor (R), cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), 5-HT 1 AR and 5-HT2 AR in the cervical spinal dorsal horn of rats with neck incision pain, so as to explore its underlying mechanism in relieving incision pain. ⋯ EA-Futu (LI 18) can significantly suppress pain reaction of neck incision in the rat, which is closely associated with its effects in downregulating the expression of SP, NK-1 R, COX-1 and upregulating that of 5-HT 1 AR and 5-HT 2 AR in the spinal dorsal horn.
