Abstract:Purpose
We endeavored to identify objective salivary biomarkers for pain, a subjective sensation with a biological basis, using molecules already described related to pain. The study aimed to analyze inter-individual differences and intersession variability in salivary potential ocular pain biomarkers on healthy subjects, in samples obtained under the influence of controlled environmental conditions.
Methods
Thirty-four healthy subjects, 20 male, 14 female, median age 35.44 years (range 30–40) were exposed f… Show more
