Small-conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK) channels in the amygdala mediate pain-inhibiting effects of clinically available riluzole in a rat model of arthritis pain

Conclusions: The results suggest that riluzole can inhibit supraspinally organized pain behaviors in an arthritis model by activating SK, but not BK, channels in the amygdala (CeA but not BLA).
