Hence, topical routes of drug administration are currently gaining popularity in painful conditions such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) are expressed in peripheral nerves and are crucial for development and maintenance of neuropathic pain. Subtypes Nav1.7, 1.8, and 1.9 are highly expressed in nociceptors and are therefore interesting targets for topical pharmacotherapeutics. The aim of this study was to assess pharmacologically modulated excitability of peripheral sensory nerves using the human experimental perception threshold tracking technique, an indirect method for measuring the excitability of peripheral nerves. This randomized, placebo-controlled, and double-blinded study included 20 healthy participants. A novel electrical stimulation protocol-the Sodium channel Excitability Nociceptor Testing protocol-was used to identify alterations in Nav1.7, 1.8, and 1.9 after applying 3 (5% lidocaine, 10% phenytoin, and 2% mepyramine) topical pharmacological drugs. There was a significant difference in the relative increase in the perception threshold after drug application between drugs ( P < 0.01) and between drugs and placebo ( P < 0.01), except for phenytoin ( P = 0.22). The computational model suggests that lidocaine and mepyramine caused different alterations of the Nav1.7, 1.8, and 1.9 currents.

It remains unclear how to resolve this SCS nonresponsiveness. Using a NP model induced by tibial-sparing nerve injury (SNI-t) in male rats, we investigated whether targeting the A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR), which is enriched in microglial cells, could convert nonresponders into responders. The dose-response relationship of 2-Cl-IB-MECA (a highly selective A3AR agonist) to inhibit mechanical hypersensitivity in male SNI-t rats after intraperitoneal injection was first established by measuring the paw withdrawal thresholds. Responders and nonresponders were classified based on the degree of reduction in mechanical hypersensitivity induced by conventional SCS (50 Hz, 0.2 milliseconds, 80% motor threshold, 30 minutes). A subtherapeutic dose of 2-Cl-IB-MECA (0.3 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) was subsequently combined with either acute or repeated SCS in nonresponders. Repeated SCS reduced microglial activation but produced limited analgesia in nonresponders. Subtherapeutic-dose 2-Cl-IB-MECA by itself induced minimal pain inhibition; however, when combined with SCS, it restored analgesic responses to both acute and repeated SCS. Notably, the pain reduction from repeated SCS was accompanied by a shift toward an anti-inflammatory microglial phenotype. These findings suggest that persistent microglial activation in male SNI-t rats may contribute to SCS nonresponsiveness, and that engaging A3AR signaling represents a promising strategy to convert nonresponders into SCS responders in NP conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":19921,"journal":{"name":"PAIN®","volume":" ","pages":"2604-2613"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148841162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
