Sex differences in experimental measures of pain sensitivity and endogenous pain inhibition
It has been suggested that increased pain sensitivity and disruption of endogenous pain inhibitory processes may account, at least in part, for the greater prevalence and severity of chronic pain in women compared to men. However, previous studies addressing this topic have produced mixed findings. This study examined sex differences in pain sensitivity and inhibition using quantitative sensory...
متن کاملExperimental pain responses support peripheral and central sensitization in patients with unilateral shoulder pain.
OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to (1) examine the pattern of experimental pain responses in the affected and nonaffected extremities in patients with shoulder pain and (2) explore the intraindividual association between sensitization states derived from experimental pain testing. METHODS Experimental pain responses from 58 patients with shoulder pain (17 women, aged 18 to 52 y) were co...
متن کاملSex Differences in How Social Networks and Relationship Quality Influence Experimental Pain Sensitivity
This is the first study to examine how both structural and functional components of individuals' social networks may moderate the association between biological sex and experimental pain sensitivity. One hundred and fifty-two healthy adults (mean age = 22yrs., 53% males) were measured for cold pressor task (CPT) pain sensitivity (i.e., intensity ratings) and core aspects of social networks (e.g...
متن کامل(348) Are there sex differences in the relationship between pain locus of control and pain sensitivity?
individual neurons, with the long-term goal of correlating these observations to patients’ medical history. We have also co-cultured human DRG with non-neuronal human keratinocytes to investigate whether signaling cross-talk and sensitization may occur, especially in cases of chronic itch. We anticipate that these approaches will be very informative of the underlying neurobiology of human neuro...
