Abstract: The present invention is related to the field of pharmacy. The present invention more particularly discloses a method of determining the emotional, sensory, physiological, social and cognitive effects of a pain condition in a non human animal and further discloses a method for preclinically identifying pharmaceutical therapeutics which improve the emotional, sensory, physiological, social and cognitive effects associated with a pain condition in a non human animal.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a CRTH2 receptor antagonist in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of neuropathic pain and to a method of treating neuropathic pain using an antagonist of CRTH2 receptor.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to a combination of an alpha-2-delta ligand and an AChE inhibitor for use in therapy, particularly in the treatment of pain, particularly neuropathic pain. Particularly preferred alpha-2-delta ligands are gabapentin and pregabalin. Particularly preferred AChE inhibitors are donepezil (Aricept®), tacrine (Cognex®), rivastigmine (Exelon®), physostgmine (Synapton®), galantamine (Reminyl), metrifonate (Promem), neostigmine (Prostigmin) and icopezil.

Abstract: An assay for the assessment of drug side effects particularly the side effect of dizziness comprising the steps of: providing a first control animal located on abeam; inducing the control animal to traverse the beam; recording the number of footslips made by the animal during the traversal; providing a second test animal located on the beam or duplicate beam; inducing the test animal to traverse the beam; recording the number of footslips made by the animal during the traversal and determining whether there is an increase, decrease or no change in the number of footslips made by the test animal in comparison to the control animal.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to a combination of an alpha-2-delta ligand and a PDEV inhibitor for use in therapy, particularly in the treatment of pain, particularly neuropathic pain. Particularly preferred alpha-2-delta ligands are gabapentin and pregabalin. A particularly preferred PDEV inhibitors is sildenafil.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to a combination of an alpha-2-delta ligand and a PDEV inhibitor for use in therapy, particularly in the curative, prophylactic or palliative treatment of pain, particularly neuropathic pain. Particularly preferred alpha-2-delta ligands are gabapentin and pregabalin. Particularly preferred PDEV inhibitors are sildenafil, vardenafil and tadalafil.
