Spinal transection increases the potency of clonidine on the tail-flick and hindlimb flexion reflexes.

Abstract:

:The effect of intrathecal clonidine on thermal nociception and hindlimb flexion was assessed in acute and chronic spinally transected rats. After an acute, 1-day spinalization, there was no change in the antinociceptive dose-response function to clonidine, relative to intact rats. However, there was a significant increase in potency 31 days after spinalization. Low doses of clonidine (0.25, 1, 4 and 20 microg) did not affect the nonnociceptive flexion reflex of acute spinal rats, but they elicited a dose-dependent response in chronic spinal rats. These data provide behavioral evidence of supersensitivity to alpha-adrenoceptor agonists in chronic spinal rats.
