Abstract
The term neurogenic inflammation was first used to describe the contribution of sensory nerves to local inflammatory responses [1]. There is a large body of research dating back to the last century that documents the role of sensory nerves in vascular aspects of inflammatory responses. The sensory neuropeptides, substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are potent vasoactive peptides found in nociceptive nerve endings. Following a noxious stimulus they are released at local sites where they coordinate the activities of different cells and tissues involved in inflammatory and immune responses. In addition to their vascular effects SP and CGRP also regulate the function of leukocytes involved in immune and inflammatory responses. (The term leukocyte refers collectively to all white blood cells. This includes lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes.)
