Gabapentin for Chronic Neuropathic Pain.
Narrative: Neuropathic pain, when the pain generator is the nerve itself, occurs in a variety of conditions including diabetes mellitus and postherpetic neuropathy. The exact mechanism of action for these conditions is unclear. Some speculate that aberrant nerve signal modulation may be a culprit, which would explain why neuropathic pain rarely responds adequately to traditional analgesics, and...
متن کاملGabapentin in the treatment of neuropathic pain.
This paper reviews the pharmacology and clinical effectiveness of gabapentin in the treatment of neuropathic pain. Gabapentin has antihyperalgesic and antiallodynic properties but does not have significant actions as an anti-nociceptive agent. Its mechanisms of action appear to be a complex synergy between increased GABA synthesis, non-NMDA receptor antagonism and binding to the alpha2delta sub...
متن کاملInteraction of NMDA and opioid receptors on thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia in two models of neuropathic pain
The use of multiple loose ligations of the rat sciatic nerve has been proposed as a model for the study of allodynia and hyperalgesia. This pain hypersensitivity results from both an increase in the peripheral and central sensitization. The evidence indicating that the development of neuropathic thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia requires activation of spinal cord NMDA receptors. NMD...

متن کاملImplications and mechanism of action of gabapentin in neuropathic pain.
Gabapentin is an anti-epileptic agent but now it is also recommended as first line agent in neuropathic pain, particularly in diabetic neuropathy and post herpetic neuralgia. α2δ-1, an auxillary subunit of voltage gated calcium channels, has been documented as its main target and its specific binding to this subunit is described to produce different actions responsible for pain attenuation. The...
