Dexmedetomidine attenuates persistent postsurgical pain by upregulating K(+)–Cl(−) cotransporter-2 in the spinal dorsal horn in rats
BACKGROUND: Dexmedetomidine (DEX) could have an analgesic effect on pain transmission through the modulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In addition, KCC2-induced shift in neuronal Cl− homeostasis is crucial for postsynaptic inhibition mediated by GABAA receptors. Accumulating evide...
