Mexiletine and Lidocaine Suppress the Excitability of Dorsal Horn Neurons
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 06/26/09

Olschewski A et al. - In clinically relevant concentrations, lidocaine and mexiletine reduced the excitability of sensory dorsal horn neurons via a blockade of Na+ and K+ channels. The authors' work confirms that, in addition to the peripheral effects of lidocaine and mexiletine, modulation of voltage-gated ion channels in the central nervous system contributes to the antinociceptive effects of these drugs used in pain therapy.
