Venlafaxine, a new antidepressant with fewer side effects, could be of interest to reduce neuropathic pain following antineoplasic drug treatment. In the present study, we demonstrated that venlafaxine inhibits hyperalgesia in a new rat model of neuropathy induced by the antineoplasic drug vincristine, and exerts its effect preferentially via supraspinal and spinal mechanisms.
