Nociceptive mechanisms in tension-type headache are poorly understood. The aim was to investigate the pain sensitivity of pericranial muscles and a limb muscle in patients with tension-type headache. Experimental muscle pain was induced by standardized infusions of 0.5ml of 1M hypertonic saline into two craniofacial muscles (anterior temporalis (TPA) and masseter (MAS)) and a limb muscle (anterior...
Central mechanisms related to referred muscle pain and temporal summation of muscular nociceptive activity are facilitated in fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) patients. The present study assessed the effects of an NMDA-antagonist (ketamine) on these central mechanisms. FMS patients received either i.v. placebo or ketamine (0.3 mg/kg, Ketalar ( R)) given over 30 min on two separate occasions. Habitual...
The whiplash syndrome has immense socio-economic impact. Despite extensive studies over the past years, the mechanisms involved in maintaining the pain in chronic whiplash patients are poorly understood. The aim of the present experimental study was to examine the muscular sensibility in areas within and outside the region involved in the whiplash trauma. Eleven chronic whiplash patients and 11 sex...
