Pain, Neural Excitation
(“Wind-up”), and the HPA Axis
• Neuropathic pain induces changes in peripheral and
central nervous system
• In the dorsal horn this results in dramatic increase in
firing of neurons
– from 1 every 3 seconds
– to up to 30/second
• In the brain, hypothalamic activation by increased
nociceptive input causes activation of the hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, resulting in discharge of
peripheral cortisol and activation of vasoactive immune
system compounds

Blackburn-Munro G, et al. J Neuroendocrinology. 2001;13:1009-1023.
Wind-up Pain: Mood Effects
• Activation of serotonergic and noradrenergic
centers in brain stem
• Stimulation and dysfunction of limbic system,
prefrontal cortex, hypothalamus, dorsal horn of
spinal cord
• Depression, anxiety, panic, vegetative signs of
depression, suicidal thoughts, and chronic pain

Tricyclic/SNRI Antidepressants
Mechanisms of Action:
Analgesic Agents
• Anticonvulsants
– sodium-channel blockade (oxcarbazepine)
– calcium-channel blockade (gabapentin)
• Antidepressants
– inhibit reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin into presynaptic
neurons (duloxetine)
• Opioids
– block neurotransmitter-release by nociceptive fibers, thus
decreasing transmission of pain-producing signals (oxycodone)
• Topical Analgesics
– sodium-channel blockade (lidocaine patch 5%)
– vanilloid receptor (capsaicin)
21
FDA-Approved Treatments for
Neuropathic Pain
• Carbamazepine
– trigeminal neuralgia
• Duloxetine
– peripheral diabetic neuropathy
• Gabapentin
– postherpetic neuralgia
• Lidocaine Patch 5%
– postherpetic neuralgia
• Pregabalin
– peripheral diabetic neuropathy
– postherpetic neuralgia
25
Antidepressants in
Neuropathic Pain Disorders*
• Multiple proposed sites and mechanisms of action
– central and peripheral nervous system
– anticholinergic, serotonergic, noradrenergic
• RCTs show benefit (especially amitriptyline,
nortriptyline, desipramine)
• Improvements in insomnia, anxiety, depression
*Not approved by FDA for this use.
28
Amitryptyline – Sites of Action
Tricyclic antidepressants
are thought to affect pain
transmission primarily
in the CNS by inhibiting
the reuptake of
norepinephrine and
serotonin, both of which
influence descending pain
pathways.

Tricyclic Antidepressants:
Adverse Effects
• Commonly reported AEs
(generally anticholinergic):
– blurred vision
– cognitive changes
– constipation
– dry mouth
– orthostatic hypotension
– sedation
– sexual dysfunction
– tachycardia
– urinary retention

Tricyclic Antidepressants
for Neuropathic Pain Disorders*
• Consider preprescription cardiac evaluation
• Intolerable side effects more frequent with amitriptyline
– not recommended in patients 601
• Use drug with fewer side effects
• Can split dose to reduce side effects
• Start at 10 to 25 mg at bedtime
– increase every week as tolerated to a target dose of 25 to 150 mg
– expect individual variability in treatment response
• Expect partial effect
– use multiple agents (other classes and mechanism)
• Not being used simultaneously to treat depression
*Not approved by FDA for this use.

Gabapentin Works Centrally
Through Calcium Channels
Anticonvulsants act at several
sites that may be relevant to
pain, but the precise mechanism
of analgesic effect remains
unclear. They are thought to
limit neuronal excitation and CNS
enhance inhibition at various
ion channels, especially the
calcium channels.

Summary
• Customize therapy due to variance in response,
individual clinical/social circumstances, and toxicity
• Rational polypharmacy – mechanisms, drug
synergy, additive effects, or complementary effects
• Consider consultation for complex cases or
patients who are refractory to first- or second-line
therapies
• Never lose focus on managing the whole patient
