Adjuvant-induced arthritic (AIA) rats have been developed as a chronic pain model to evaluate the effects of analgesic drugs. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether there is dose-dependent inhibition of the emission of ultrasonic vocalization (USV) responses by analgesic drugs in AIA rats. It was demonstrated that morphine (1.25-5.0 mg/kg, s.c.) and ketoprofen (2.5-10.0 mg/kg, s.c.) dose-dependently inhibit USV responses. These results suggest that the USV responses elicited in AIA rats are useful for the quantitative evaluation of analgesic drugs.<br>
