Abstract: Eligible Sprague Dawley( SD) male rats were chosen to make chronic constriction injury( CCI) model of the rat sciatic nerve,and CCI mechanical pain thresholds in different positions of the hind paw of rats were measured and compared to determine the best position for measurement. No significant difference was found in pain threshold among Positions 1,2 and 3 before CCI surgery( P >0. 05),whereas highly significant difference were observed between the Positions 1 or 2 and Position 3 after surgery of hind paw( P <0. 001) and no significant difference was between Positions 1 and 2( P >0. 05). For the hind paw prior to surgery no significant difference was observed in pain threshold between the Positions 1 or 3 and the Position 2 in the hind paw,but significant difference were found between the Positions 1 and 2( P <0. 05). The Position 2 is the best place for measurement of mechanical pain threshold in CCI rats.
