Subcutaneous injection of isotonic solution of magnesium sulfate (MS) produces local pain.
MS modulates the activity of TRPV1, TRPV4, TRPA1 and ASICs.
ASIC is involved in the pronociceptive effect of pH-unadjusted, but not pH-adjusted MS solution.
TRPV1, TRPV4 and TRPA1 antagonists might be used for local treatment of injection-related pain.
