Polymodal Nociceptor Research Paper

Nociceptors are the receptors that selectively respond to nociceptive stimulation of peripheral tissue, as mentioned earlier, leading to perceived pain under certain circumstances. Pain is sometimes perceived in the absence of this activity but could then be due to sensitization processes in higher brain structures.
The polymodal nociceptors are the most common class of nociceptor. During intense acupuncture stimulation, acupressure
(painful) or strong massage, mechanical nociceptors may be activated resulting in slight increase of pain sensations but also in an increased activity in endogenous pain inhibiting
