A study was conducted on male rats in which intrathecal catheters pumped morphine infusion for five days and then resveratrol was injected in another catheter for three hours, followed by more morphine.
Results showed resveratrol pretreatment significantly reduced sensitivity to pain in the morphine-tolerant rats. The researchers attributed this to the resveratrol inhibiting neuroinflammation.
