Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic widespread pain condition of unknown origin. Reduced endogenous pain inhibition could be related to high pain sensitivity in FM. Associations between conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and cardiovascular responses to pain have been observed in healthy subjects (HS). Because reduced cardiovascular reactivity to various stressors has been reported in FM patients, we investigated...
Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) (ie, diffuse noxious inhibitory controls) is characterized by reduced perception of pain caused by intense pain in a remote body area. The conditioning stimuli used to trigger CPM causes pain, but also important cardiovascular responses. Higher blood pressure has been associated with reduced pain sensitivity. Descending pain inhibitory mechanisms such as CPM could...
Pain modulation can be achieved using neuromodulatory tools that influence various levels of the nervous system. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), for instance, has been shown to reduce chronic pain when applied to the primary motor cortex. In contrast to this central neuromodulatory technique, diffuse noxious inhibitory controls (DNIC) refers to endogenous analgesic mechanisms that...
