Inflammation induces developmentally regulated sumatriptan inhibition of spinal synaptic transmission.
Abstract
While triptans are used to treat migraine, there is evidence that they also reduce inflammation induced pain at the spinal level. The cellular mechanisms underlying this spinal enhancement are unknown. We examined whether inflammation alters sumatriptan modulation of synaptic transmission in the rat spinal dorsal horn.
