Baroreceptor stimulation: pain perception and sensory thresholds.
Baroreceptor activity has been implicated in the modulation of pain. Sensory detection thresholds and pain ratings were measured in a group of 28 men during carotid baroreceptor manipulation with the PRES (phase-related external suction) neck suction technique. Brief, cardiac phase-related electrical impulses were delivered intracutaneously to the finger. The results indicate that minimum baror...
متن کاملChanges in sensory hand representation and pain thresholds induced by motor cortex stimulation in humans.
Shrinking of deafferented somatosensory regions after neural damage is thought to participate to the emergence of neuropathic pain, and pain-relieving procedures have been reported to induce the normalization of altered cortical maps. While repetitive magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the motor cortex can lessen neuropathic pain, no evidence has been provided that this is concomitant to changes in...
متن کاملDoes anodal transcranial direct current stimulation modulate sensory perception and pain? A meta-analysis study.
OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) on sensory (STh) and pain thresholds (PTh) in healthy individuals and pain levels (PL) in patients with chronic pain. METHODS Electronic databases were searched for a-tDCS studies. Methodological quality was examined using the PEDro and Downs and Black (D&...
متن کاملImproved Acuity and Dexterity but Unchanged Touch and Pain Thresholds following Repetitive Sensory Stimulation of the Fingers
Neuroplasticity underlies the brain's ability to alter perception and behavior through training, practice, or simply exposure to sensory stimulation. Improvement of tactile discrimination has been repeatedly demonstrated after repetitive sensory stimulation (rSS) of the fingers; however, it remains unknown if such protocols also affect hand dexterity or pain thresholds. We therefore stimulated ...
متن کاملVibratory stimulation increase the electro-cutaneous sensory detection and pain thresholds in women but not in men
BACKGROUND Vibratory stimulation is a potential method for the treatment of pain. METHODS The effect of vibration on the forearm on detection (DT) and pain thresholds (PT) induced by electro-cutaneous stimulation were investigated in healthy male and female volunteers. RESULTS Women have lower baseline detection and pain thresholds as compared to men. Furthermore, women but not men report i...
