Diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) is a serious complication for diabetic patients involving nervous system. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small-noncoding RNAs which are dysregulated in neuropathic pain, and might be critical molecules for pain treatment. Our previous study has shown miR-184-5p was significantly downregulated in DNP. Therefore, the mechanism...
