Clusters of facilitatory and inhibitory conditioned pain modulation responses in a large sample of children, adolescents, and young adults with chronic pain.
Abstract
When investigating the role of facilitatory and inhibitory pain mechanisms such as conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and temporal summation of pain (TSP), it is important to take both into consideration in a single experimental model to provide the most information on subgroups of patients. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify subgroups in a large population of pediatric patients with chronic pain based on their facilitatory and inhibitory pain mechanisms and compare them with control subjects.
