Glucocorticoids are a major class of stress hormones known to participate in stress‐induced hyperalgesia. Although 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β‐HSD1) is a key enzyme in the intracellular regeneration of glucocorticoids in the CNS, its role in pain perception has not been assessed. Here, we examined the effects of ASP3662, a novel 11β‐HSD1 inhibitor, on neuropathic and dysfunctional pain.
