objective(s): intracerebroventricular injection of orexin-a (hypocretin-1) antagonist has been shown to inhibit stress-induced analgesia. however the locations of central sites that may mediate these effects have not been totally demonstrated. this study was performed to investigate the role of rostral ventromedial medulla (rvm) orexin receptor 1 in stress-induced analgesia (sia). materials and...

objective(s): there are many reports about the role of rostral ventromedial medulla (rvm) in modulating stress-induced analgesia (sia). in the previous study we demonstrated that temporal inactivation of rvm by lidocaine potentiated stress-induced analgesia. in this study, we investigated the effect of permanent lesion of the rvm on sia by using formalin test as a model of acute inflammatory pa...

Introduction: Despite significant progress in understanding pain control mechanism, there are numerous questions about central nervous mechanisms underlying stress-induced analgesia. The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) in the brainstem integrates a variety of functions, including pain modulation and pain perception. In the present study, we investigated the effect of temporary inactivatio...

For over 30 years, scientists have been investigating the phenomenon of pain suppression upon exposure to unconditioned or conditioned stressful stimuli, commonly known as stress-induced analgesia. These studies have revealed that individual sensitivity to stress-induced analgesia can vary greatly and that this sensitivity is coupled to many different phenotypes including the degree of opioid s...

introduction: it is known that acute and chronic stress induce hormonal and neuronal changes which affecting both pain threshold and nociceptive behaviours. orexin plays an important role in modulation of pain and stress. considering pain modulation during stress and the role of orexin in pain and stress, orexin might be involved in pain modulation during stress.we evaluated the involvement of ...
