Nociceptive and Non-nociceptive Hypersensitivity at Latent Myofascial Trigger Points
The Clinical Journal of Pain, 2009The aim of the study was to evaluate whether or not there exists nociceptive and non-nociceptive hypersensitivity at latent myofascial trigger points (MTrPs).Eleven healthy volunteers participated in this study, which consisted of 3 sessions of electromyography-guided intramuscular injection with a minimum of a week interval in between. In each session,

By far the majority of studies with cytokines relate to neuroendocrine functions, fever and sleep.1 Recently, however, the possibility of a role for cytokines in nociception has been explored. In particular the work of Watkins et al2,3 have studied central and peripheral involvement of IL-1β in nociception in depth.

The role of purines in nociception
Neuroscience, 1989The preceding review indicates that there is convincing evidence for the presence of adenosine in and release of adenosine from capsaicin-sensitive small diameter primary afferent neurons in the spinal cord (Fig. 1). Within the dorsal spinal cord, adenosine inhibits the transmission of nociceptive information, although details of mechanisms involved in

Pain is a fundamental self-defense mechanism for warning against damage so that action can be taken to avoid or minimize injury. According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) pain is defined as “An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage”

Developmental aspects of nociception
Brain Research Bulletin, 1988Research has documented the existence of multiple, endogenous systems that modulate nociception. Based on the effects of opioid antagonists and endocrine lesions, endogenous analgesia systems have been organized into four classes: neural-opioid, neural-nonopioid; hormonal-opioid; hormonal-nonopioid.

Nociceptive aspects of fibromyalgia
Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2001Although characterized by a variety of symptoms, chronic widespread pain is the primary complaint bringing most patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) into the clinic. The etiology of this painful condition is unknown, and any possible relationship between pain and the many other symptoms of FMS is unclear.

Temperature perception and nociception
Journal of Neurobiology, 2004AbstractThe specificity theory of somesthesis holds that perceptions of warmth, cold, and pain are served by separate senses. Although no longer accepted in all its details, the theory's basic assumptions of anatomical and functional specificity have remained guiding principles in research on temperature perception and its relationship to pain.

The development of nociceptive circuits
Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2005The study of pain development has come into its own. Reaping the rewards of years of developmental and molecular biology, it has now become possible to translate fundamental knowledge of signalling pathways and synaptic physiology into a better understanding of infant pain.

The hippocampus in nociception
1990Limbic structures, including the hippocampus, are thought to be involved in pain though not much is known of their neuronal responses to noxious stimuli. Experiments were therefore performed in lightly anaesthetized rats to determine the effect of noxious heat stimuli on the excitability of dorsal hippocampal field CA1 pyramidal neurones.
