Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common type of injury, and about half of patients affected by SCI will suffer from neuropathic pain within a year after injury. However, the treatment effect of neuropathic pain is far from satisfactory. Our study attempted to reveal whether salvianolic acid B (SalB) could relieve the neuropathic pain caused by SCI in mice by inhibiting the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) pathway. ⋯ SalB reduced the release of tumor necrosis factor-α and substance P by inhibiting the TLR4/MyD88 pathway in the SCI mouse model. This not only resulted in lower pain, but also contributed to long-term relief of mechanical hyperalgesia.
