Abstract

Activating the arterial baroreceptors blunts pain sensation and produces other forms of central nervous system inhibition in animals. These effects may be important to blood pressure regulation but have not been rigorously verified in humans. We describe (i) a noninvasive behaviorally unbiased method for baroreceptor stimulation and (ii) the application of this method to measurement of baroreceptor-mediated attenuation of pain perception and of the Achilles tendon reflex. The findings are relevant to basic mechanisms of blood pressure stabilization and cardiovascular reactivity and may also have implications for noncompliance with antihypertensive medications and for the pathophysiology of essential hypertension.

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.
