摘要：

We employed hindfoot withdrawal latencies to radiant heat to assess the analgesic effect of prolonged morphine infusion on thermal hyperalgesia induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the rat sciatic nerve. All CCI rats developed thermal hyperalgesia while sham-operated animals did not. Continuous systemic infusion of morphine dose-dependently reversed the thermal hyperalgesia in the CCI rats, In contrast, thermal hyperalgesia persisted in saline-treated CCI rats. Tolerance to morphine's analgesic effect did not develop over a period of seven days of morphine infusion, which is considered long-term for animal models. These data suggest that morphine acts rapidly and effectively to reduce behavioral signs of hyperalgesia in rats with sciatic CCI, without the concomitant development of tolerance, Scheduled administration of morphine might be an appropriate treatment regimen for relief of neuropathic pain, and the infrequent use of opioids in equivalent human clinical pain syndromes due to fear of opioid unresponsiveness and tolerance might need to be re-evaluated.
