Measure the cytokines, transforming or neurotrophic factors in CSF and plasma as the pain markers and as a new therapeutic target for pain control.
The research protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the Protection of Human Subjects at National Cheng Kung University Hospital (NCKUH/B-ER-104-070). The study procedures were performed according to the rules of IRB and fully explained to the participants. Blood and CSF samples were collected and compared the difference in no pain group, acute pain group, and chronic pain group.

Whole blood (10 ml) was collected before surgery using venipuncture: the blood was drawn into a test tube that contained the anticoagulant ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). Blood and CSF samples were ice bathed and then transported to laboratory for biological molecule analysis. White blood cells and platelets were also counted before operation as a routinely pre-operative check
