Experimental microinjection of morphine in male rats shows modulation of pain responses, suggesting potential pain management strategies.

This research aims to investigate how morphine affects pain behavior through the nucleus accumbens and CA1 in an inflammatory pain model.
Microinjection of morphine into nucleus accumbens and CA1 of male Wistar rats.
Formalin test used to assess pain response after morphine administration.
Various doses of morphine and naloxone were tested to evaluate their effects on pain thresholds.
Morphine injections in both NAc and CA1 produced significant antinociceptive effects during the formalin test.
Naloxone administration prior to morphine reduced analgesic effects, indicating the involvement of opioid receptors.

Dinparast et al. (2026) studied this question.
