Abstract

Tropisetron is an alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) agonist and is a commonly used antiemetic clinically. α7nAChRs activation modulating nociception transmissions and cholinergic anti-inflammation may decrease neuropathic pain. This study was set to investigate the effects of tropisetron on neuropathic pain and neuroinflammation as well as the underlying mechanisms in rats.
