“…Other studies generate ischemic pain by obstructing blood flow in an extremity, as occurs when a blood pressure cuff is inflated [19]. Electrical stimulation [20], application of pressure [21], and chemical exposure [22] are also used to induce pain in laboratory contexts.…”

Interpersonal Touch Buffers Pain Sensitivity in Romantic Relationships but Heightens Sensitivity between Strangers and Friends

A variety of evidence suggests that interpersonal behaviors such as touch can have pain-alleviating effects on recipients. Less well understood is how touch affects sensitivity to pain in the first place, and whether its effects depend on the nature of the relationship in which it occurs. In the present experiment, 55 adults who had not been diagnosed with a pain disorder were exposed to a cold pressor pain induction with an opposite-sex stranger, platonic friend, or romantic partner who either touched their shoulders, was present in the room without touching them, or was absent during the cold pressor. The outcome variable was the self-reported level of pain induced by the stimulus at the moment when the stimulus became painful (i.e., pain sensitivity). Compared to presence or absence, touch dampened pain sensitivity for romantic partners, allowing them to tolerate more intensity before the stimulus became painful. Touch had the opposite effect for friends and strangers, heightening their sensitivity to pain.

“…Indépendamment de la modalité de stimulation, neuf études ont trouvé que les seuils de douleur étaient élevés dans la DM, relativement aux sujets sains [1,[3][4][5]26,27,32,42,43]. Ces seuils étaient diminués dans trois études [4,36,45] et quatre études ont échoué à trouver des différences entre les groupes [19,26,43,47].…”

L’évaluation expérimentale de la douleur dans la dépression majeure

Les relations entre la dépression majeure (DM) et la douleur sont plus complexes qu'on ne le croyait originalement. La DM s'accompagne fréquemment de symptômes somatiques douloureux, et elle constitue un facteur de risque dans le développement de la douleur chronique. Paradoxalement, la plupart des études ayant évalué expérimentalement la perception de la douleur dans la DM ont décrit des répon-ses hypoalgésiques chez les patients. La présente revue de littérature a pour objectif de pondérer les évidences empiriques et d'identifier les facteurs contribuant à l'hétéro-généité des résultats. Pour citer cette revue : Douleur analg. 24 (2011). Mots clés Dépression majeure · Hypo-/hyperalgésie · Antidépresseurs · Mécanismes endogènes d'inhibition de la douleurAbstract The relationship between major depressive disorder (MDD) and pain is more complex than originally thought. MDD is frequently accompanied by somatic pain symptoms and is a risk factor for chronic pain. Paradoxically, most experimental studies on pain perception in MDD have described hypoalgesic responses in patients. This literature review aims to evaluate the empirical findings and identify the factors contributing to heterogeneity of results. To cite this journal: Douleur analg. 24 (2011).

“…Pain reaction might also depend on the type of experimental manipulation. For example, in people with major depression disorder, hypoalgesia for heat and electrical pain was present compared to healthy controls, but hyper algesia was present for ischemic muscle pain compared to healthy controls (Bär et al 2005 ).…”

Clinical Pain in Schizophrenia: A Forgotten Area

Results from several studies suggest that pain experience is diminished in people with schizophrenia. A reduced sensitivity for pain would have implications for treating people for painful conditions in clinical practice. In this chapter, a short overview of pain in schizophrenia is provided along with discussion of some theoretical suggestions concerning the neuropathology of schizophrenia in pain-processing areas. Additionally, we mention possible confounders for pain research in persons with schizophrenia.
