Chronic pain and sleep have a bidirectional relationship that promotes a vicious circle making chronic pain more difficult to treat. Therefore, pain and sleep should be treated simultaneously. In our previous study, we suggested that hyperactivation of ascending serotonergic neurons could cause secondary sleep disturbance in chronic pain. This study aimed to demonstrate the effects of a tricyclic antidepressant (amitriptyline) and a selective 5-hydroxy-tryptamine 2A (5-HT2A) antagonist (MDL 100907) that adjust serotonergic transmission, on secondary sleep disturbance induced in a preclinical chronic pain model. We produced a chronic neuropathic pain model by partial sciatic nerve ligation in mice, analyzed their electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) using the SleepSign software, and evaluated the sleep condition of the pain model mice after administration of amitriptyline or MDL 100907. Amitriptyline improved thermal hyperalgesia and the amount of sleep, especially non-REM sleep. Time change of normalized power density of δ wave in the nerve ligation group with amitriptyline administration showed a normal pattern that was similar to sham mice. In addition, MDL 100907 normalized sleep condition similar to amitriptyline, without improvement in pain threshold. In conclusion, amitriptyline could improve sleep quantity and quality impaired by chronic pain. 5-HT2A receptor antagonism could partially contribute to this sleep improvement, but is not associated with pain relief.
