There is evidence about the importance of sex in pain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sex in the antiallodynic activity of spinal dopamine D-and D-like receptors in a model of fibromyalgia-type pain in rats. Reserpine induced the same extent of tactile allodynia in female and male rats.

Fibromyalgia is a complex pain syndrome without a precise etiology. Reduced monoamines levels in serum and cerebrospinal fluid in fibromyalgia patients has been reported and could lead to a dysfunction of descending pain modulatory system producing the painful syndrome. This study evaluated the role of D-like dopamine receptors in the reserpine-induced fibromyalgia-like pain model in female Wistar rats.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of antiallodynic effect of tizanidine in neuropathic rats. Spinal nerve ligation reduced withdrawal threshold which was interpreted as tactile allodynia. Increasing doses of tizanidine induced a dose-dependent antiallodynic effect in nerve injured rats.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a musculoskeletal chronic pain syndrome. Its prevalence in women is higher than in men possibly by hormonal factors given that symptoms are aggravated during sex hormone-related events, such as the premenstrual period, pregnancy, postpartum or menopause. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether hyperalgesia and allodynia, in reserpine-induced experimental FM, depend on sex, estrous cycle, ovariectomy and replacement with 17β-estradiol.
