The interaction of intrathecal neostigmine and N-cyclohexyladenosine on anti-allodynic effects in rats with a nerve ligation injury
BackgroundNerve ligation injury in rats produces a pain syndrome that includes mechanical allodynia. Intrathecal administration of cholinesterase inhibitors or adenosine receptor agonists have anti-allodynic effects in this model. Therefore, we tested the interaction between intrathecal neostigmine...
