Abstract
The dorsal root ganglion as a mediator for low-back pain in an animal model was investigated. Low-frequency vibration, a known mechanical cause of low-back pain, was in-vestigated. Quantitative results suggest a significant re-duction effect on substance P, one of several neurotransmitters located in the dorsal root ganglion. The functional results of these changes are currently under in-vestigation.
