“…Thresholds for CT afferent activation via indentation with von Frey hairs have been reported to be in the range of 0.3–3 mN (Vallbo et al, ; Watkins et al, ). However, within the present study, pleasantness (using von Frey hairs) was rated at forces approximately nine times higher and within a range of C nociceptor activation (Schmidt, Schmelz, Ringkamp, Handwerker, & Torebjörk, ; Watkins et al, ). Nonetheless, CT afferents are not solely responsible for a rewarding value (Pawling, Cannon, McGlone, & Walker, ), and noxious stimulation can be deemed as pleasurable (Leknes et al, ), hence, warranting the need for scales to incorporate a range of sensations and allowing for any potential overlap.…”
