摘要

A method and corresponding pharmaceutical composition to inhibit neuropathic pain by injecting intrathecally into a mammalian subject a neuropathic pain-inhibiting amount of a phosphatase falling within E.C. 3.1.3.x, more specifically a protein phosphatase falling within E.C. 3.1.3.16, and most specifically calcineurin.
