The effect of systemic gabapentin, a novel antiepileptic and analgesic, was tested on allodynia-like behaviors in spinal cord injured rats. On the first day of treatment 30 mg/kg intraperitoneal gabapentin did not alleviate hyper-reactivity to mechanical and cold stimulation. The allodynia was significantly reduced by 100 mg/kg gabapentin, which however, produced sedation and motor impairments. Repeated administration of 30 mg/kg gabapentin once a day produced a gradually increasing anti-allodynic effect. Total alleviation of mechanical allodynia was observed in most rats after the third administration of gabapentin. Thus, build-up of the antiallodynic effect of gabapentin may develop through a time dependent mechanism or alternatively through a gradual accumulation of the effective central nervous system concentration of the drug.
