  1. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, and refer to paw withdrawal latencies prior to Saline-Saline, Morphine-Saline, Morphine + Anti-NGF or Anti-NGF-Saline treatment on the day 1, day 3 and day 5. ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 as compared to day 1 pre-treatment (baseline) of each corresponding group. ### P < 0.001 represents significant difference compared to day 5 of Sal-Sal group
