[The endogenous opiate and nonopiate analgesic system].
A lot of researches indicate that central nervous system not only exist endogenous opiate analgesic system but also possess endogenous nonopiate analgesic system. The opiate and nonopiate analgesic systems can be selectively activated by different environmental or artificial manipulations and modulated the stimulation-produced analgesia, acupuncture analgesia and stress-induced analgesia, including the foot shock-induced analgesia, tail-shock-produced analgesia, ear-shock-induced analgesia, analgesia of cold water swim, analgesia of immobilization or of restraint and analgesia of a-Deoxy-D- glucose and so on. The existence and description of these modulatory mechanisms have it's multiplicity and important clinical implications for the treatment of pain.
