Antidepressants are widely used for the treatment of various neuropathic pain conditions in humans. Recent studies have demonstrated that bupropion is effective for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Also antidepressants like bupropion showed anti-inflammatory properties. So in the present study, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of bupropion in mice and rat were investigated. The acetic acid, formalin and hot plate tests were used in male mice to assess analgesic activity. For…

Pharmacological modulation of neuropathic pain-related depression of behavior: effects of morphine, ketoprofen, bupropion and [INCREMENT]9-tetrahydrocannabinol on formalin-induced depression of intracranial self-stimulation in rats
- Psychology, BiologyBehavioural pharmacology

The effectiveness of morphine and bupropion to reverse formalin effects agrees with other evidence that these drugs block pain-depressed behavior in rats and relieve neuropathic pain in humans and does not support the use of THC to treat neuropathy pain.
Antinociceptive effect of methanolic extract and alkaloid fractions of Berberis integerrima root in animal models

Berberis integerrima total extract and its alkaloid fractions showed antinociceptive effect and it seems that the mechanism of this action is peripherally mediated since they were effective in formalin test and acetic acid- induced writhing but not in hot-plate test.

Off-label Antidepressant Use for Treatment and Management of Chronic Pain: Evolving Understanding and Comprehensive Review
- Psychology, MedicineCurrent Pain and Headache Reports
- 2019
The use of antidepressants offers alternative and adjunctive therapy options for patients suffering from chronic pain from various modalities, and TCAs, mono-amine oxidase inhibitors, selective serotonin receptor inhibitors, SNRIs, and atypical antidepressants have been shown to have analgesic and sometimes antiinflammatory capabilities that are independent of their mood-stabilizing effects.

It is demonstrated that the H4 receptor antagonist JNJ7777120 may reduce acute croton oil‐induced skin inflammation as effectively as H1 receptor blockade, however, marked strain‐related differences have to be carefully considered when using this ligand to characterize histamine H4 receptors functions in murine models and translating preclinical data to clinical human settings.
