Jingshu Keli attenuates cervical spinal nerve ligation-induced allodynia in rats through inhibition of spinal microglia and Stat3 activation

Cervical radicular pain resulting from mechanical compression of a spinal nerve secondary to spinal degenerative alternations negatively impacts patients' quality of life. Jingshu Keli (JSKL), a traditional Chinese medicine formula with multiple active compounds, has been prescribed for pain management in patients with cervical radiculopathy for decades. Two major components of JSKL, ferulic acid and cinnamaldehyde, were identified to have anti-inflammation effect via inhibiting activation of Stat3.
