Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation. MPT, mechanical pain threshold; 1st supra-m, the mean pain rating of the first mechanical stimuli; 10th supra-m, the mean pain rating of the tenth mechanical stimuli; HPT, heat pain threshold; NPS, 0–100 numerical pain scale; mTS, mechanical temporal summation; hTS, heat temporal summation; Pain 50, the temperature that induces a pain of 50/100 on the NPS; Contact THP, the mean pain rating from the tonic heat stimulus of the thermal sensory probe; Immersion THP, the mean pain rating from the tonic heat stimulus of the hot-water bath; CPM, conditioned pain modulation. |
