The following is a summary of “Nocebo Effect on Pain-Related Autonomic Responses in a State of Experimentally-Induced ...

In previous behavioral research studies, Ahmed's laboratory demonstrated significant reversal of thermal hyperalgesia (heightened sensitivity to heat or thermal stimuli) and mechanical allodynia (pain ...

Some of the central molecular mechanisms that lead to hyperalgesia and allodynia after peripheral tissue injury involve the spinal dorsal horn transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1).
