Linkage between increased nociception and olfaction via a SCN9A haplotype [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Background and Aims: Mutations reducing the function of Nav1.7 sodium channels entail diminished pain perception and olfactory acuity, suggesting a link between nociception and olfaction at ion channel level.

Auricular Acupressure Can Modulate Pain Threshold [PDF]
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2015 The objective of our study was to investigate if auriculotherapy (AT) can modulate pain threshold. In our experiments, AT consisted of placingVaccariaseeds over the “fingers point” of one ear. Two groups of healthy volunteers were enrolled for the study. Each subject was asked to perform an autoalgometric test developed by our group on three occasions:

Pain Perception Threshold in Young High-Altitude Natives After Acute Exposure to Severe Hypoxic Conditions [PDF]
OxygenPrevious studies indicate that individuals at high altitudes have a lower pain threshold than those living at sea level. This study evaluates the differences in pain perception among young people living at an altitude of 3800 m and after acute exposure ...

Emotional arousal when watching drama increases pain threshold and social bonding
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Fiction, whether in the form of storytelling or plays, has a particular attraction for us: we repeatedly return to it and are willing to invest money and time in doing so. Why this is so is an evolutionary enigma that has been surprisingly underexplored.

The effects of smartphone use on upper extremity muscle activity and pain threshold
Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2015 [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine whether muscle activity and pressure-induced pain in the upper extremities are affected by smartphone use, and to compare the effects of phone handling with one hand and with both hands. [Subjects] The
