Effects of diffuse noxious inhibitory controls on temporal summation of the RIII reflex in humans
Open accessAbstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of diffuse noxious inhibitory controls (DNICs) on the temporal summation of the nociceptive flexion reflex (RIII reflex) in humans. Recordings were obtained from 36 healthy adults (16 M, 20 F), and the area and temporal summation threshold (TST) of the RIII reflex were measured. The subjective intensity of the painful sensation was rated on an 11-point visual analogue scale (VAS). Neurophysiological and VAS measurements were recorded after activation of DNICs by means of the cold pressor test (CPT), which involved immersing the hand in cold water (2-4 degrees C). A slight significant lower TST was found in the females versus the males. In all the subjects, the CPT induced a significant TST increase and RIII area reduction compared with the control session. The VAS results paralleled those of the RIII reflex area and TST. During the CPT, a significant difference in the percentage TST increase emerged between females and males, being lower in the former. Similarly, we found a significantly lower percentage reduction of the RIII area in women than in men during the CPT. To summarize, activation of DNICs through the CPT significantly increased the TST of the RIII reflex in healthy subjects. This inhibitory effect was gender-specific. Whereas other findings are based on psychophysical evaluations, the results of this experimental study provide an objective neurophysiological demonstration that DNICs attenuate temporal summation in humans and confirm the presence of significant differences in pain modulation mechanisms between men and women.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
