• This study was designed to explore the antinociceptive activity of intrathecal clonidine alone or in combination with intrathecal morphine (1:3 fixed ratio) in nerve-injured rats. (nih.gov)
  • These effects were blocked by DAMGO washout and pre-treatment with the selective μ-opioid receptor antagonist Cys 2 -Tyr 3 -Orn 5 -Pen 7 -amide. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Two weeks following a chronic constriction injury of the saphenous nerve, mice developed a profound mechanical hypersensitivity in the paw innervated by the damaged nerve. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Importantly, μ-opioid receptor agonist [D-Ala 2 , N -Me-Phe 4 ,Gly 5 ]-ol-enkephalin (DAMGO) significantly elevated the mechanical thresholds of nociceptive Aδ and C fibres. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The contributions of MOR and σ1R to its antinociceptive effect were verified by combined administration with the MOR antagonist naloxone and the σ1R agonist PRE-084, respectively. (bvsalud.org)
  • It possesses antinociceptive activity. (curehunter.com)
  • In this model, intrathecal morphine shows no antiallodynic activity, as well as decreased antinociceptive potency and efficacy. (nih.gov)
  • The aims, with this study, were to use nerve-injured animals to determine: (1) whether the antinociceptive potency and efficacy of intrathecal clonidine was altered, and (2) whether the combination of intrathecal morphine and clonidine would act synergistically to produce antinociception.
