Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pain Research
  • Experimental Medicine

Background:

  • The ultraviolet B (UVB) sunburn model is a validated human experimental pain paradigm.
  • It is frequently utilized in preclinical drug development and for investigating inflammatory pain mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of UVB-induced cutaneous inflammation in experimental studies.
  • Emphasis was placed on methodological characteristics, sensory outcomes, and safety aspects.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was performed for studies published between 1999 and 2025.
  • Twelve studies involving 367 participants met the inclusion criteria for the review.

Main Results:

  • UVB irradiation consistently induced primary hyperalgesia, peaking 24-48 hours post-exposure.
  • Methodological heterogeneity was observed in UVB dose, irradiation, and assessment techniques.
  • Secondary hyperalgesia was inconsistently reported, influenced by study conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The UVB sunburn model reliably induces primary inflammatory hyperalgesia in humans.
  • Standardization of methodological parameters is essential for optimizing its application in mechanistic and early-phase analgesic research.
