Effects of EA on the behavioral tests of morphine-induced hyperalgesia. On day-1 (1 day before IT administration) and in days 1, 3, 5 and 7 after drug administration, rats received IT normal saline, IT morphine and IT morphine + EA at ST36-GB34. Next, (A) mechanical hyperalgesia and (B) thermal hyperalgesia were evaluated by electronic von Frey filament and hot plate, respectively. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n=8 rats/group for mechanical hyperalgesia test and n=8 rats/group for thermal hyperalgesia test). *P<0.05 vs. the C group, #P<0.05 vs. the M group. IT, intrathecal; EA, electroacupuncture; C, control; M, chronic morphine; ME, morphine + EA at ST36-GB34.
