The effects of intravenously (IV) administered midazolam on noxiously evoked activity of spinal wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons were investigated in decerebrate, spinal-cord-transected cats. Extracellular, single-unit recordings were measured during stimulation by pinching the receptive field on the hind paw and the effect of midazolam at doses of 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg were measured. Two series of experiments were performed to characterize the analgesic effects of midazolam. In the first, dose-response experiments (n = 59) demonstrated a dose-dependent suppression of the noxiously evoked activity of spinal WDR neurons after midazolam administration. This effect of midazolam was maximal at a dose of 1 mg/kg IV. The second series of experiments (n = 14) demonstrated that a benzodiazepine antagonist, flumazenil (n = 8), promptly reversed the effect of midazolam, while an opioid antagonist, naloxone (n = 6), had no effect on the effect of midazolam. The present study demonstrates that IV administered midazolam suppresses noxiously evoked activity of spinal WDR neurons that is reversible by a benzodiazepine antagonist. This is consistent with an analgesic action of midazolam. (Anesth Analg 1995;80:58-63)
