Fig. 3. ( A ) Effect of intrathecal meloxicam on existing mechanical allodynia. Meloxicam (32 and 320 μg · kg−1· day−1) did not attenuate the nerve ligation–induced mechanical allodynia. ( B ) Effect of intrathecal meloxicam on existing thermal hyperalgesia. Meloxicam (32 and 320 μg · kg−1· day−1) did not attenuate the nerve ligation–induced thermal hyperalgesia. Bar above the x-axis represents continuous intrathecal treatment with meloxicam or saline.
