Abstract

Psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression are frequently observed in neuropathic pain patients, and negatively impact their quality of life. Mirogabalin is a novel ligand for the αδ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels and has unique binding characteristics to αδ subunits and potent and long-lasting analgesic effects in neuropathic pain models.
