Table 2. Electrical and mechanical nociceptive thresholds (ENT and MNT, respectively) and changes in mechanical nociceptive thresholds after application of a conditioning stimulus (ΔMNT) in dogs with naturally-occurring presumptive neuropathic pain before and after each treatment period.

	ENT (mA)	MNT (N)	ΔMNT (N)
Baseline	49.5 ± 3.4 (n = 29)	10.2 ± 0.5 (n = 29)	- 0.1 ± 0.6 (n = 27)
Placebo	42.3 ± 3.4 (n = 28)	10.3 ± 0.5 (n = 28)	- 0.9 ± 0.6 (n = 26)
Gabapentin	38.3 ± 3.4 (n = 28)	10.1 ± 0.5 (n = 28)	0.8 ± 0.6 (n = 26)
Gabapentin-meloxicam	39.7 ± 3.4 (n = 28)	10.3 ± 0.5 (n = 28)	0.5 ± 0.6 (n = 26)

Data shown as mean ± SEM after a mixed linear model to analyze ENT, MNT and ΔMNT with treatment as the main effect and sex, age and body weight as covariates.
