Adenosine and adenosine analogs decrease pain-like behavior in animal models of both acute nociceptive and neuropathic pain via adenosine receptor activation at spinal and/or supraspinal levels. This open study is the first in a series of intrathecal (IT) adenosine administration studied for the evaluation of efficacy and side effects in 14 patients All had chronic neuropathic pain with tactile hyperalgesia and/or allodynia primarily of traumatic origin. The effects of IT adenosine (500 mu g [n = 9] or 1000 mu g [n = 5]) were evaluated. Approximate areas of tactile pain were mapped. Spontaneous and evoked pain (visual analog scale score 0-100) and tactile pain thresholds were assessed before and 60 min after injection. The injection caused transient pain (
