“Recently, we demonstrated that the antipsychotic dopaminergic and serotoninergic agonist aripiprazole induced peripheral antinociception. However, the mechanism underlying this effect has not been fully established.

Here, our aim was to identify possible relationships between this action of aripiprazole and the endocannabinoid system.

CONCLUSIONS:

These results provide evidence for the involvement of the endocannabinoid system in peripheral antinociception induced by aripiprazole treatment.”
