Frequent mild head injury promotes trigeminal sensitivity concomitant with microglial proliferation, astrocytosis, and increased neuropeptide levels in the trigeminal pain system. [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Frequent mild head injuries or concussion along with the presence of headache may contribute to the persistence of concussion symptoms. METHODS: In this study, the acute effects of recovery between mild head injuries and the frequency of ...

Multicenter assessment of quantitative sensory testing (QST) for the detection of neuropathic-like pain responses using the topical capsaicin model [PDF]
, 2018 Background: The use of quantitative sensory testing (QST) in multicenter studies has been quite limited, due in part to lack of standardized procedures among centers. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the application of the capsaicin pain model

The effects of nitrous oxide upon sensory thresholds [PDF]
Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1960 1. Sensory thresholds have been measured in human subjects while breathing 25 per cent nitrous oxide in oxygen. 2. Nitrous oxide produced a significant and sometimes dramatic increase in the thresholds for touch, skin pain, warmth, vision, and hearing. 3.

The impact of focused attention on bilateral sensory threshold adaptation during unilateral short-term tactile stimulation [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski PregledBackground/Aim. Neuroplasticity of the somatosensory system can be manifested after short-term or long-term peripheral tactile stimulation. Focused attention has been well established as a modulator of neural processing in the visual and auditory systems.
