9.Evaluation analgesic effects by hot plate apparatus - Copy.pptx
The document evaluates analgesic effects using a hot plate apparatus to assess pain responses in animals. It describes the mechanisms of pain, types of analgesics, and the experimental procedure for testing drugs like morphine and pentazocine on pain thresholds. Non-pharmacological and pharmacological pain management strategies are also outlined.
Pain “An unpleasantemotional experience usually initiated by
noxious stimulus and transmitted over a specialized neural network to the
CNS”
The word pain is derived from the
Latin word Peone
Greek word Poine
meaning penalty or punishment
4.
Cross Roads fortransmission of pain and its response by the body:
Receptors - free nerve endings
Electro-chemical transmission
Synapse in the spinal cord - convergence
Ascent in the spinal cord to pain receiving areas in the
brain
Facilitatory/Inhibitory neurons
Motor response
The purpose ofpain:
protective mechanism
A signal of a disease.
Occurs whenever any tissue is being damaged.
Helps in detection, localization and identification of tissue damage.
Causes the individual to react to remove the pain stimulus.
The non –pharmacological management involves the following
approaches
• Physiotherapy
• Psychological techniques
•Stimulation therapies – Acupuncture & Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulation (TENS)
•Palliative care – involves the alleviation of symptoms but does not cure
the disease.

Pharmacological medications
Non-Narcoticsor NSAIDs oral / local
Narcotics (IM, IV, SC, PCA intrathecal, epidural)
Local anesthetics (combination of local anesthetic & narcotics)
Psychotherapeutic approaches (Anxiolytic, biofeedback, relaxation).
Anticonvulsant therapy.

Evaluation of Analgesic
effect
Principle:
Painis induced to a suitable animal and the response of the
animal to the painful stimuli is recorded before and after
administration of drugs. Analgesics drugs inhibit the
perception (sensation) of the pain.
Two types of acute pain Superficial- Fast response
Deep - Slow
response

Requirements
• Animal: Mouseor Rat
• Instrument: Hot Plate Analgesiometer
• Painful Stimulus: Heat (550 C)
• Drug used: Morphine 1-2 mg/kg, i.p
Pentazocine 20mg/kg, i.p
15.
Procedure
1. Weigh andmark the rats
2. Place the animals on the hot plate
3. Observe the basal reaction time (paw licking or jumping
response)with a constant temperature (55 ͦ C)
4. Inject Morphine sulphate (5mg/kg), I.P
5. Note down the reaction period at different time intervals
(30, 60 and 120 min)
6. Observations note down in the table
16.
Procedure
• In thismodel prior to the experiment the hot plate was set for a
temperature 550 C. Weight animal and number the rat. Take the basal
reaction time by observing hind paw licking or jump response
(whichever appears 1st) in animal when placed on hot plate. Normally an
animal shows such response in 6-8 seconds.
• A cut off period of 15 sec is observed to avoid damage to paws.
• Inject Pentazocine to the animals 30 minutes prior to the recording the
response.
17.
The time forlicking paws or jumping in hot plate was recorded as a
response, prior and 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 min after administration of the drug.
As the reaction time increased with Pentazocine, 15 seconds is taken as
maximum analgesia and the animals are removed from the hot to avoid
injury to the paws.
• Calculate percentage increase in reaction time (as index of analgesia) at
each time interval.
