概要 | BACKGROUND: Antidepressants are used to treat neuropathic pain and although the detailed mechanisms of their effects are unclear, the descending noradrenergic inhibitory system might play an important role. We tested our hypothesis that repeated administration of duloxetine suppresses neuropathic pain by restoringthe descending noradrenergic inhibitory system in rats 6 weeks after spinal nerve ligation (SNL). METHODS: We subcutaneously injected SNL rats with duloxetine (10 mg kg-1 day-1) daily for 3 consecutive days and assessed behavioral hypersensitivity and noxious stimulus-induced analgesia (NSIA) activated by subcutaneous injection of capsaicin. We also performed microdialysis studies of the spinal cord, noradrenaline measurements of homogenized lumbar spinal tissue, and immunohistochemistry of the locus coeruleus. RESULTS: Three daily injections of duloxetine attenuated the mechanical hyperalgesia induced by SNL (SNL treated with vehicle: 88 ± 9.4 g versus SNL treated with duloxetine: 148 ± 13 g, P<.001 estimated treatment effect of duloxetine [95% confidence interval {CI}], 65 [50.6-79.4]n = 6/group, on day 4) and recovered the decreased NSIA (vehicle: 154 ± 10 g |
