And studies have shown that the two sides of the spinal cord are not independent due to the findings that unilateral peripheral nociception results in contralateral responses (Koltzeburg, 1999). The contralateral pain was perceived at a lesser magnitude and has a delayed response. This contralateral pain phenomenon can be attributed to a similar pathway as central sensitization leading to secondary hyperalgesia. Primary…

In addition because the pain sensitivity crossed a tight band that prevented circulation in the skin, they concluded that it was not due to a local spread of the capsaicin or any peripheral inflammatory mediator. Central amplification of Ad nociceptor fiber test input following a Cfiber conditioning input was shown to contribute to pinprick/ punctate secondary hyperalgesia, again using the intradermal capsaicin model , underscoring…
