Our results indicate that chronic intrathecal gabapentin has beneficial effects on the behaviors of both thermal and mechanical stimulations in the neuropathic pain animals and the NMDA blocker can potentiate this effect. Furthermore, gabapentin has biphasic effect on the expression of PKCγ in the spinal cord on Day 7 and Day 14 for the model rats with CCI.
