Effect of gabapentin delivered by intraneural vehicle. The effect of Gabapentin tripartite administration, to mono-neuropathic animals, on thermal nociceptive threshold (con, contralateral; ips, ipsilateral; GPN, Gabapentin). Results are the mean ± SEM (n = 6). The difference between the ipsilateral and contralateral side is significant from 4 days post surgery to the end of the experiment in all treatment groups. Treatment with Gabapentin tripartite to the injured limb caused a significant elevation in paw withdrawal latency which was evident within 2 days and lasted for a further 4 days, after which the latency returned to that of the other groups (e.g. day 12, P = 0.0049 between Dx-GPN and GPN tripartite ipsilaterally). This effect was not observed in any other group.
