The relationship between sensitivity to pain and conditioned pain modulation in healthy people

ConclusionThese findings show that regardless of the thermal CPM paradigm employed, healthy individuals exhibiting low sensitivity to pain have a low pain inhibition profile and vice-versa. It is suggested that in healthy subjects, pain sensitivity predisposes the magnitude of CPM and not the other way around.
