In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, we studied 12 volunteers in three experiments. Capsaicin 100 µg was injected intradermally on the volar forearm followed by an i.v. infusion of ketamine (bolus 0.1 mg kg 1 over 10 min followed by infusion of 7 µgkg 1 min 1 ), lidocaine 5 mg kg 1 or saline for 50 min. Infusion started 15 min after injection of capsaicin. The following were measured: spontaneous pain, pain evoked by punctate and brush stimuli (VAS), and areas of brush-evoked and punctate-evoked hyperalgesia. Ketamine reduced both the area of brush-evoked and punctate-evoked hyperalgesia significantly and it tended to reduce brush-evoked pain. Lidocaine reduced the area of punctateevoked hyperalgesia significantly. It tended to reduce VAS scores of spontaneous pain but had no effect on evoked pain. The differential effects of ketamine and lidocaine on static and dynamic hyperalgesia suggest that the two types of hyperalgesia are mediated by separate mechanisms and have a distinct pharmacology.

Several lines of evidence indicate that these many chronic pain conditions. 1 4 Experimentally, different two types of hyperalgesia depend on different mechanisms. types of mechanical hyperalgesia can be distinguished First, on the basis of compression blocks it has been LaMotte and colleagues 5 described two types of mechanical shown that the dynamic type is mediated by large hyperalgesia in a capsaicin model: a large hyperalgesic area myelinated A-beta fibres and the punctate form by to normally painful punctate stimuli and a smaller tender unmyelinated C-fibres. 268 Second, while both dynamic and area which was painful to stroking stimuli. Kilo and static hyperalgesia involve central plastic changes induced colleagues 7 provided evidence for at least four types of by peripheral nociceptor activity, the dynamic form seems mechanical hyperalgesia: one induced by gently brushing, to depend on persistent input from nociceptors, and the one by punctate stimuli, one by blunt pressure and one by static form can persist without such nociceptor activity, impact stimuli. While the two former types were suggested because anaesthetizing an area with hypersensitivity induced to depend on central sensitization resulting from central by capsaicin abolishes brush-evoked hyperalgesia but not plastic changes, it was suggested that the latter two were punctate-evoked hyperalgesia. 5 Third, in a recent clinical caused by sensitization of peripheral nociceptors. study in patients with neuropathic pain, it was shown that In neuropathic pain patients, different types of mechanical brush-evoked pain and punctate-evoked hyperalgesia were hyperalgesia can also be delineated. Ochoa and Yarnitsky 2 not related, although both types are probably maintained described a dynamic and a static type, where the former by heat sensitive nociceptors. 9 Taken together, it is likely that was induced by gently brushing the injured area, whereas different neural mechanisms are responsible for mechanical the static type was induced by punctate stimuli in the hyperalgesia.

Thresholds were defined as If dynamic and static hyperalgesia are mediated by the average of three measurements. different mechanisms, ketamine and lidocaine should modulate static and dynamic hyperalgesia differently. Assessment of pain and hyperalgesia The intradermal capsaicin model was used to test this Pain assessment hypothesis Spontaneous pain and evoked pain intensity were measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS mm; 0 no Subjects and methods pain, 100 unbearable pain). To assess brush-evoked pain, a cotton gauze was swept back and forth three times We studied 12 healthy male volunteers in a randomized, at the 3-cm point at a speed of 1 2 cms 1 and the intensity double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study. Informed was scored on a VAS scale. Punctate-evoked pain was written consent was obtained from all participants and the assessed by bending a fixed von Frey hair (744.9 mn) study was approved by the Local Ethics Committee and (Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments, Stoelting, IL, USA) at the Danish National Board of Health. Before the first the 3-cm point twice, at a rate of 1 Hz, and was scored in experiment, capsaicin 50 µg was injected into the left volar a similar manner. All measurements were performed at forearm to familiarize subjects with capsaicin pain and specific times and in the following order: (1) spontaneous the tests performed during each experiment. One subject pain intensity, (2) brush-evoked pain intensity, (3) punctate- developed allodynia lasting only a few minutes at the evoked pain intensity, (4) area of brush-evoked hyperalgesia screening session and was not included in the study. and (5) area of punctate-evoked hyperalgesia. Intradermal capsaicin Capsaicin (8-methyl N-vanillyl 6-nonamide) (Sigma, USA) was dissolved in Tween 80 UPS by heating. 11 Saline was added under sterile conditions to obtain a concentration of 5mgml 1. Capsaicin 20 µl (100 µg) was injected using a 0.5-ml syringe fitted with a 27-gauge needle. Six radiating lines from the injection site with ticks at 1-cm intervals were drawn on the skin before injection of capsaicin. The Areas of secondary hyperalgesia The area of brush-evoked hyperalgesia was assessed by stroking a hand-held cotton gauze from the skin with normal sensation towards the injection site at a rate of approximately 1cms 1 and in steps of 1 cm. This was performed along the six radiating lines drawn on the skin before injection of capsaicin. Subjects were asked to report when the sensation changed to a sensation of tenderness or pain, and the distance from the injection site to this point was 156
3 Effects of ketamine and lidocaine on hyperalgesia measured. On basis of the marked distances along the lines where sensation changed, a hexagon was drawn and the area calculated. The area of punctate-evoked hyperalgesia was assessed by bending a hand-held von Frey hair (744.9 mn) towards the injection site in steps of 1 cm at a rate of 1 cm s 1. Subjects were asked to report when the sensation became increasingly painful. The area was measured as described above, by outlining the borders and calculated from a drawn hexagon. Drug infusion punctate-evoked hyperalgesia. Measurements were performed at specific times after injection of capsaicin. In each treatment session, a baseline was defined for each subject which was the measurement 15 min after injection of capsaicin (start of infusion). Subsequent measures were converted to percentage of baseline. For each treatment and each subject, the effect variables were plotted against time as a percentage of baseline values. Curves for each treatment group are presented in Figures 1B 5B in which median values at each time of measurement are shown. Area under the curve (AUC) for each subject was calculated for min after injection of capsaicin, corresponding to the measurements performed during infusion (t 15, 30, 45 min). Differences in AUC between treatment groups were analysed by non-parametric repeated analysis of variance on ranks (Friedmans test). AUC are presented as box plots, medians are indicated by horizontal lines and boxes show the 25th to 75th percentiles; 90% confidence intervals are presented as whiskers. P 0.05 was considered statistically significant. On each of 3 examination days, separated by at least 1 week, subjects received, in a double-blind randomized manner, an i.v. infusion of ketamine 50 mg ml 1 (Ketalar, Parke-Davis), lidocaine 20 mg ml 1 (Lidokain, SAD) or saline 9 mg ml 1 (NaCl, SAD) diluted in isotonic saline. I.v. infusion started 15 min after injection of capsaicin via an infusion pump (Ivac 598, Kivex A/S, Denmark); each treatment session consisted of infusion of NaCl ml, with or without drug, over 10, 20 and 20 min. The total infusion time did not exceed 55 min. Ketamine was given as Results a bolus infusion of 0.1 mg kg 1 over 10 min followed by The mean dose of ketamine administered was 28.4 (SD two infusions of 7 µg kg 1 min 1, each lasting 20 min. 4.2) mg and the mean dose of lidocaine was (58.4) mg.

Saline was infused in a similar manner with receiving ketamine. These data are included in the results NaCl 100 ml over 10 min followed by two infusions of NaCl because the infusion was stopped for only a short period 100 ml over 20 min.

Differences in dose and Lidocaine tended to reduce spontaneous pain. Ketamine timing of capsaicin and ketamine may be one explanation 160
7 Effects of ketamine and lidocaine on hyperalgesia for this discrepancy. The fact that we used a very stiff C-fibre input, under these conditions, may block punctate von Frey hair when measuring evoked pain by punctate hyperalgesia. In contrast, it is conceivable that block of hyperalgesia may preclude us from finding an effect on central sensitized WDR neurones by the NMDA receptor punctate hyperalgesia. blocker ketamine reduces both dynamic and static hyper- Our study is consistent with clinical studies of ketamine algesia driven by A-beta and C-fibre input, respectively. showing relief of brush-evoked and punctate-evoked hyperalgesia In summary, our findings indicate that an ongoing C-fibre in patients suffering from different types of input induced central sensitization which was blocked by a neuropathic pain NMDA receptor antagonist.
