Modulatory influence on somatosensory perception from vibration and heterotopic noxious conditioning stimulation (HNCS) in fibromyalgia patients and healthy …
In order to assess the function of endogenous mechanisms modulating somatosensory input
in fibromyalgia (FM), the effect of vibratory stimulation (VS) and heterotopic noxious
conditioning stimulation (HNCS) on perception of various somatosensory modalities was
assessed. Ten female FM patients and 10 healthy, age-matched, females participated. VS
(100 Hz) was applied to the left forearm for 45 min and quantitative sensory testing (QST)
was performed within the vibrated area and in the right thigh before, during and 45 min …
