Abstract
In recent years, tricyclic antidepressant drugs have experienced a resurgence in their use as valuable pharmacological tools in the treatment of pain. Along with the evolution in our understanding of their analgesic mechanisms of action, there have been concurrent breakthroughs regarding their indications for use and modes of administration. This review focuses on recent advances in our understanding of how antidepressant drugs exert their antinociceptive effects, and new developments regarding their clinical application.
