Abstract
Shu-jing-huo-xue-tang (SJHXT) (Japanese name: Sokei-kakketu-to), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine composed of 17 crude drugs, has been prescribed over hundreds of years for treatment of chronic pain syndromes. We evaluated if oral SJHXT could suppress neuropathic pain behaviors in rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve. (1) Rats received repeated oral SJHXT 0.5 or 1.0 g/kg once daily for 14 days starting 24 h after CCI surgery, while neuropathic manifestations were evaluated until day 20 post-CCI. (2) Other groups of rats received single oral SJHXT 1.0 g/kg on day 14 post-CCI. (3) Additional groups of rats received oral SJHXT 1.0 g/kg on day 14 post-CCI, concomitantly with intraperitoneal yohimbine 1 mg/kg or methysergide 5 mg/kg. Neuropathic manifestations, including mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, were evaluated with paw withdrawal responses to increasing mechanical pressure and radiant heat, respectively. Mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia developed by day 14 post-CCI. Repeated oral SJHXT for 14 days produced anti-allodynic and anti-hyperalgesic effects that outlasted the period of drug administration. Single oral SJHXT on day 14 also produced significant anti-allodyni...Continue Reading
