Reduced excitability and impaired nociception in peripheral unmyelinated fibers from Nav1.9-null mice

In conclusion, NaV1.9 presumably contributes to acute thermal and mechanical nociception in mice, most likely through increasing the excitability but probably also by amplifying receptor potentials irrespective of the stimulus modality.
