Topical high-concentration (40%) menthol - Somatosensory profile of a human surrogate pain model
2011, Journal of PainCitation Excerpt :This study demonstrates that menthol is a suitable model for cold and pinprick hyperalgesia and for the first time that cold hyperalgesia has to be acknowledged to be an unstable and pinprick hyperalgesia to be a stable phenomenon within 4 hours after application. This knowledge has to be taken into account when performing psychophysical and pharmacological interventions using the menthol pain model as it has been extensively performed in the capsaicin and heat/capsaicin model2,14,16,22,39,40,42,46,47,54-58 and a first study in the menthol model.1 Again, a similar course has been demonstrated after intradermal capsaicin injection and in the heat/capsaicin model.27,48,49
Topical application of compound ibuprofen suppresses pain by inhibiting sensory neuron hyperexcitability and neuroinflammation in a rat model of intervertebral foramen inflammation
2011, Journal of PainCitation Excerpt :Therefore, CIC treatment may inhibit multiple aspects of inflammatory responses in addition to inhibiting the sensory neuron excitability, the sodium channel expression and activity of NF-κB, expression of COX-2, and the cytokine IL-1β in the inflamed ganglion. Several lines of studies have compared topical ibuprofen gel and oral ibuprofen in clinical experimental pain paradigms and concluded that topical application of NSAIDs produces analgesia in models of cutaneous pain24,33,34 and muscle pain.33,47 In a clinical context, several reviews have all concluded that there was clear evidence to support efficacy of topical NSAIDs given by gel, spray, or patch for conditions of soft-tissue injuries (eg, sprains, strains, tendonitis) and rheumatic diseases,14,26,33,50,54 and for sports-related soft-tissue injury.10
Topical Analgesics
2009, Perioperative Nursing ClinicsCitation Excerpt :When NSAIDs are applied topically, bioavailability and plasma concentrations are 5% to 15% of those achieved by systemic delivery.4 In human experimental pain models, topically applied NSAIDs produce analgesia in models of cutaneous pain,5–8 and muscle pain.9 In terms of clinical use, three major reviews—one examining use in musculoskeletal and soft tissue pain,10 another looking at data accrued in over 10,000 patients in 86 trials,11 and the last looking primarily at chronic rheumatic disease4—concluded that there was clear and significant evidence that topical NSAIDs have pain-relieving properties.

2007, Anesthesiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :When NSAIDs are applied topically, bioavailability and plasma concentrations are 5% to 15% of those achieved by systemic delivery [4]. In human experimental pain models, topically applied NSAIDs produce analgesia in models of cutaneous pain [5–8] and muscle pain [9]. In terms of clinical use, three major reviews—one examining use in musculoskeletal and soft tissue pain [10], another looking at data accrued in over 10,000 patients in 86 trials [11], and the last looking primarily at chronic rheumatic disease [4]—concluded that there was clear and significant evidence that topical NSAIDs have pain-relieving properties.
Mechanisms of adrenosensitivity in capsaicin induced hyperalgesia
2007, European Journal of PainCitation Excerpt :This discrepancy may be explained by the fact that afferents are directly activated and sensitized via the binding of capsaicin at the TPRV1 receptor (Catarina et al., 2000; Simone et al., 1991). In high tissue concentrations which can be achieved by topical application ASA might directly interact with the TPRV 1 receptor and thereby reduce the signs of capsaicin induced nociceptor activation (Schmelz and Kress, 1996). Transcutaneous iontophoresis of norepinephrine and drugs that release neural stores of norepinephrine (e.g. tyramine) exacerbate thermal hyperalgesia in skin made sensitive to heat by the topical application of capsaicin.
