Cortical somatosensory evoked potentials were used to measure secondary hyperaesthesia resulting from subcutaneous 1 and 5% formalin in unanesthetized rats with permanently implanted electrodes. Near field responses were evoked by contralateral non-noxious electrical stimulation of the middle third of the tail. 0.05 ml 5% formalin injected subcutaneously at the base of the tail increased the amplitude of P1-N1 a maximum of 158.5+/-10.91% and N2 a maximum of 150.4+/-21.40% compared to controls (P<0.05 and P<0.01). Amplitudes were increased from 5 min after injection to the end of the 70 min test period. The effect of 1% formalin was equivalent to 5% formalin. This increase was prevented by pretreatment with 5 mg/kg ketamine or 5 mg/kg morphine, in agreement with behavioral and electrophysiological data. Cortical somatosensory evoked potentials are objective measures of central sensitization which may usefully complement current behavioral models for the evaluation of analgesic drugs.
