摘要 |
The present invention provides a method for attenuating or treating pain in nonischemic skeletal muscle, e.g., by inducing angiogenesis in a nonischemic skeletal muscle, by administration of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a DNA encoding an angiogenic peptide, such that the blood flow to the nonischemic skeletal muscle is enhanced and pain in the nonischemic skeletal muscle is attenuated. A method of treating a symptom associated with risk of ischemic damage in nonischemic skeletal muscle also is provided.
