The Control of Pain in Peripheral Tissue by Opioids

Stein, Christoph·1995·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Pain can be effectively diminished by various endogenous mechanisms within the central nervous system. One region where these mechanisms have been well characterized is the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, in which impulses from peripheral nerves are modulated before they are transmitted centrally to evoke perception and response. Recent research has shown that, in addition to these mechanisms in the central nervous system, intrinsic modulation of nociception can occur at the peripheral terminals of afferent nerves. Specifically, these studies indicate that the immune system can interact with peripheral sensory-nerve endings to inhibit pain.This neuroimmune link was discovered during . . .

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.
