Thermo-dependence of noxious mechanical heterotopic stimulation-dependent modulation of the spinal dorsal horn response to somatosensory stimulation
Abstract:Despite frequent clinical hyper-or hypothermia cases, the thermal-dependence of the endogenous pain modulation system at the spinal cord is not well understood. The spinal dorsal horn neuronal network responses during mechanical heterotopic noxious stimuli was evaluated at three different body temperatures (34, 37 or 40 • C) by measurement of lumbar cord dorsum potentials activated by electrical stimulation of the ipsilateral sural nerve in adult thiopental anesthetized rats. A noxious clamp was applied random… Show more
