Sine-wave electrical stimulation at frequencies 2000, 250, and 5 Hz to respectively evaluate Aβ, Aδ, and C sensory neurons has recently been added to the armamentarium used to evaluate sensory neurons. We developed an automated nociception assay using sine-wave stimulation methodology to determine current vocalization threshold in response to 2000, 250, and 5 Hz and examine the effects of sex, analgesics, and anesthetics in mice. At baseline, males had significantly higher mean current vocalization thresholds compared with female mice at 2000, 250, and 5 Hz (p ≤ 0.019). By 1 h after intrathecal injections of morphine there were significant increases in current vocalization threshold percent changes from baseline that varied with doses (p = 0.0001) and frequency used (p < 0.0001). Specifically, with increasing doses of morphine, there were significantly greater increases in current vocalization threshold percent changes from baseline in response to 5 Hz compared with 250 and 2000 Hz stimulation in a significantly ordered pattern: 5 Hz > 250 Hz (p < 0.0001) and 250 Hz > 2000 Hz (p = 0.0002). Forty-five minutes after exposure, there were no effects of isoflurane on current vocalization thresholds at any frequency. Therefore, our findings suggest that this automated nociception assay using sine-wave stimulation in mice, can be valuable for measurements of the effects of sex, opioids, and anesthetics on the response to electrical stimuli that preferentially stimulate Aβ, Aδ, and C-sensory fibers in vivo. This investigation suggests the validation of this assay and supports its use to examine mechanisms of nociception in mice.
