Comparison of five conditioned pain modulation paradigms and influencing personal factors in healthy adults.
Abstract
Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) methods are experimental procedures to assess presumed descending nociceptive modulatory pathways. Various CPM-methods are currently used, making the comparison of results difficult. The aim of this study was to compare five conditioning stimuli and to evaluate the influencing effects of personal factors on CPM-efficacy.
