THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN RETRACTED Repeated massage‐like stimulation induces long‐term effects on nociception: contribution of oxytocinergic mechanisms
Abstract
Massage‐like stroking induces acute antinociceptive effects that can be reversed by an oxytocin antagonist, indicating activation of oxytocin on endogenous pain controlling systems. We now demonstrate an increase in hindpaw withdrawal latencies (HWLs), in response to thermal and mechanical stimuli, which was present after six treatments of massage‐like stroking every other day and which continued to increase through the remaining seven treatments. Repeated massage‐like stroking also resulted in increased oxytocin‐like immunoreactivity (oxytocin‐LI) levels in plasma and periaquaductal grey matter (PAG). Furthermore, increases in HWLs were also present after injections of oxytocin into the PAG (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 nmol). Intra‐PAG oxytocin injection of 1 nmol followed by 1 or 20 nmol of naloxone attenuated the increments in HWL. Also, there was a dose‐dependent attenuation of the oxytocin‐induced antinociceptive effects following intra‐PAG injection of the µ‐opioid antagonist β‐funaltrexamine (β‐FNA) and the κ‐opioid antagonist nor‐binaltorphimine (nor‐BNI) but not the δ‐antagonist naltrindole. The long‐term antinociceptive effects of massage‐like stroking may be attributed, at least partly, to the oxytocinergic system and its interaction with the opioid system, especially the µ‐ and the κ‐receptors in the PAG.

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.
