- Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess temporal summation within saline-induced, localized and referred muscle pain areas. The sensibility to single and repeated electrical stimuli were assessed in the muscle by means of needle electrodes and in the referred pain area by surface stimulation. The study demonstrates that temporal summation of nociceptive input from muscles exists and that the responses to single and repeated nociceptive stimuli of the referred pain area are facilitated.
