Abstract

Sound stress (SS) elicits behavioral changes, including pain behaviors. However, the neuronal mechanisms underlying SS-induced pain behaviors remain to be explored. The current study examined the effects of SS on nociceptive behaviors and changes in expression of the spinal corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system in male Sprague Dawley rats with and without thermal pain. We also studied the effects of SS on plasma corticosterone and fecal output. Rats were exposed to 3 days of SS protocol (n = 12/group). Changes in nociceptive behaviors were assessed using thermal and mechanical pain tests. Following the induction of SS, a subgroup of rats (n = 6/group) was inflicted with thermal injury and on day 14 postburn nociceptive behaviors were reassessed. Spinal CRF receptor mRNA expression was analyzed by semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In addition, plasma corticosterone and spinal CRF concentrations were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Increased defecation was observed in SS rats. SS produced transient mechanical allodynia in naive rats, whereas it exacerbated thermal pain in thermally injured rats. Spinal
