There are multiple definitions:
spinal nerve ligation(English)
- a model of neuropathic pain, referring to a model that is produced by tightly ligating the lumbar segmental spinal nerve (L5 alone or both L5 and L6). The lumbar segmental spinal nerve refers to a short length of the peripheral nerve distal to the dorsal root ganglion before it joins with other segmental nerves to form the lumbar plexsus. Usually ligates the ventral ramus only since the dorsal ramus is denervated during the surgery
