| 1. A method for producing a non-human mammalian model for neurogenic pain, comprising the step of:
altering a peripheral nerve of a non-human mammal by non-surgically placing a gel substance into the fascial tunnel through
which the peripheral nerve passes, wherein the placement of the gel substance leads to one or more pain behaviors selected
from mechanical allodynia and mechanical hyperalgesia, thereby producing a non-human mammalian model for neurogenic pain.
