Recent observations using acute and persistent pain models have suggested that activation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is required for mechanisms that underly the development and maintenance of thermal hyperalgesia. The present results document that both NMDA-mediated thermal hyperalgesia produced after acute intrathecal NMDA administration and NMDA-mediated thermal hyperalgesia produced in a model of neuropathic pain are dose-dependently and reversibly attenuated by intrathecal administration of ethanol (0.5-1.0%; total dose, 106-213 nmol, i.t.). This is consistent with recent reports that ethanol may function as a selective NMDA receptor antagonist at low concentrations and further extends the evidence that thermal hyperalgesia is mediated by NMDA receptors.
