Injury to the spinal nerves of mice induces allodynia and hyperalgesia. Intrathecal injection of the progesterone/estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780 produced antinociceptive effects. Co-administration of estrogen did not reduce but tended to enhance the antinociceptive effect of ICI 182,780. On the other hand, co-administration of progesterone dose-dependently reduced the antimociceptive effect of ICI 182,780, indicating that the antinociceptive effect is through antiprogesterone receptor activity of ICI 182,780. These results suggest that spinal progesterone receptors play an important role in neuropathic pain, and that controlling the activity of progesterone receptors may be of great importance in the treatment of neuropathic pain.
