desipramine and Neuralgia

desipramine has been researched along with Neuralgia in 14 studies

Desipramine: A tricyclic dibenzazepine compound that potentiates neurotransmission. Desipramine selectively blocks reuptake of norepinephrine from the neural synapse, and also appears to impair serotonin transport. This compound also possesses minor anticholinergic activity, through its affinity to muscarinic receptors.
desipramine : A dibenzoazepine consisting of 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine substituted on nitrogen with a 3-(methylamino)propyl group.

Neuralgia: Intense or aching pain that occurs along the course or distribution of a peripheral or cranial nerve.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Amitriptyline, a non-selective noradrenaline (NA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor, has recently been demonstrated to produce a peripheral antinociceptive action in an inflammatory (formalin test) and a neuropathic pain model (spinal nerve ligation)."7.70Peripheral antinociceptive actions of desipramine and fluoxetine in an inflammatory and neuropathic pain test in the rat. ( Esser, MJ; Reid, AR; Sawynok, J, 1999)
"Desipramine has the least anticholinergic and sedative effects of the first generation tricyclic antidepressant agents, but its pain-relieving potential has received little study."6.67Desipramine relieves postherpetic neuralgia. ( Dubner, R; Gaughan, AM; Gracely, RH; Kishore-Kumar, R; Max, MB; Schafer, SC; Smoller, B, 1990)
"(1) Postherpetic pain is infrequent, but the incidence increases with age."5.31Gabapentin: new indication. In postherpetic neuralgia when amitriptyline fails. ( , 2002)
" We have used an integrative approach combining behavioural pharmacology with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the effects of chronic treatment with the TCA desipramine, on touch-evoked pain (mechanical allodynia) and brain regional activity in the selective spinal nerve ligation (SNL) model of neuropathic pain."3.75Identification of discrete sites of action of chronic treatment with desipramine in a model of neuropathic pain.

( Dubner, R; Gaughan, AM; Gracely, RH; Kishore-Kumar, R; Max, MB; Schafer, SC; Smoller, B, 1990)
"Patients with neuropathic pain often experience depression and anxiety both of which are known to be temporally correlated with noradrenergic dysfunction in the locus coeruleus (LC) as pain becomes chronic."1.48The onset of treatment with the antidepressant desipramine is critical for the emotional consequences of neuropathic pain. ( Alba-Delgado, C; Berrocoso, E; Llorca-Torralba, M; Mico, JA, 2018)
"Previous findings suggest that neuropathic pain induces characteristic changes in the noradrenergic system that may modify the sensorial and affective dimensions of pain."1.43Effect of DSP4 and desipramine in the sensorial and affective component of neuropathic pain in rats. ( Berrocoso, E; Bravo, L; Camarena-Delgado, C; Mico, JA; Rey-Brea, R, 2016)
"The management of neuropathic pain has two distinct goals-prevention of development and control of established neuropathic pain."1.43Prophylactic treatment with the tricyclic antidepressant desipramine prevents development of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain through activation of endogenous analgesic systems. ( Deng, L; Hohmann, AG; Lee, WH; Makriyannis, A; Xu, Z, 2016)
"Peripheral neuropathic pain is a chronic condition that may produce plastic changes in several brain regions."1.38The function of alpha-2-adrenoceptors in the rat locus coeruleus is preserved in the chronic constriction injury model of neuropathic pain. ( Alba-Delgado, C; Berrocoso, E; Borges, G; Horrillo, I; Meana, JJ; Mico, JA; Neto, F; Ortega, JE; Sánchez-Blázquez, P, 2012)
" 10b was additionally bioavailable following oral dosing and demonstrated efficacy in rat models of acute, inflammatory, and neuropathic pain."1.37Discovery of novel selective norepinephrine inhibitors: 1-(2-morpholin-2-ylethyl)-3-aryl-1,3-dihydro-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole 2,2-dioxides (WYE-114152).
