Enhancing KCC2 function counteracts morphine-induced hyperalgesia

Abstract Morphine-induced hyperalgesia (MIH) is a severe adverse effect accompanying repeated morphine treatment, causing a paradoxical decrease in nociceptive threshold. Previous reports associated MIH with a decreased expression of the Cl− extruder KCC2 in the superficial dorsal horn (SDH) of the...
