primarily opioidergic and adenosine mechanisms are considered to be involved in the antinociceptive effects of antidepressants. this study was designed to determine the efficacy of acute venlafaxine administration in alleviating symptoms of neuropathic pain and the role of endogenous adenosine and opioid systems in this effect of venlafaxine. we have evaluated the effect of caffeine, a non-sele...

conclusions coq10 abolished neuropathic pain in cci rats. prevention of cell loss might be attributed to the analgesic effect of coq10. hence, it might be used as a therapeutic intervention for neuropathic pain. background oxidative stress contributes to neuropathic pain. coenzyme q10 (coq10) is used for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. however, there is no report regarding the ther...

introduction: rosemary, rosmarinus (r.) officinalis l. is a well-known plant with several useful properties such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-neurodegenerative. it has been used in folk medicine to alleviate rheumatic pain, stomachache and dysmenorrhea. rosemary has several constituents such as rosmarinic acid which can be responsible for therapeutic properties been noted with rosem...

background: neuropathic pain (np) is one of the most suffering medical conditions that often fail to respond to certain pain therapy. although its exact etiology is still unknown the role of reactive oxygen species (ros) and oxidative stress were explored by many researchers. neuropathies either central or peripheral lead to painful condition as well as social and economic isolation, thus vario...

Chronic constriction injury to the sciatic nerve was used as an animal model of neuropathic pain. Instead of frequently used reflex-based tests we used an operant thermal place preference test to evaluate signs of neuropathic pain and the effect of baclofen administration in rats with neuropathy. Chronic constriction injury was induced by four loose ligations of the sciatic nerve. Thermal place...

Introduction: As sex differences have been observed repeatedly in chronic pain, it is likely that the gonadal hormones are responsible for these differences. To investigate the responsible mechanism for chronic pain different models have been created. This study is examining the effects of gonadal hormones on nociceptive responses of the rats in CCI (chronic constriction injury) and SNI (spread...

Background Following peripheral nerve chronic constriction injury, the accumulation of the α2δ-1 auxiliary subunit of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in primary afferent terminals contributes to the onset of neuropathic pain. Overexpression of α2δ-1 in Xenopus oocytes increases the opening properties of Cav1.2 L-type channels and allows Ca2+ influx at physiological membrane potentials. We therefore...
