Pain relief by supraspinal gabapentin requires descending noradrenergic inhibitory controls
Abstract. Introduction:. Gabapentin regulates pain processing by direct action on primary afferent nociceptors and dorsal horn nociresponsive neurons. Through an action at supraspinal levels, gabapentin also engages descending noradrenergic inhibitory controls that indirectly regulate spinal cord pa...
