Minocycline, a glial suppressor, prevents behavioural hypersensitivities in animal models of peripheral nerve injury. However clinical trials of minocycline in human studies have produced mixed results. This study addressed two questions: can repeated injections of hypertonic saline (HS) in humans induce persistent hypersensitivity? Can pre-treatment with minocycline, a tetracycline antibiotic with microglial inhibitory effects, prevent the onset of hypersensitivity? Twenty seven healthy participants took part in this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, consisting of six test sessions across 2 weeks.
