Enhancing neuronal chloride extrusion rescues α2/α3 GABAA-mediated analgesia in neuropathic pain

Disinhibition in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord may contribute to chronic pain. Here the authors show that, despite a paradoxical increase in α2/α3 subunits of the GABAA receptor in a neuropathic pain model, inhibition eventually fails due to KCC2 hypofunction.
