Repetitive ipsilateral painful <scp>A</scp>‐delta fibre stimuli induce bilateral <scp>LEP</scp> amplitude habituation

Abstract

Habituation (in the electrophysiological sense) is a physiological phenomenon that indicates normal central processing of pain in healthy controls. We showed bihemispheral N2P2 amplitude habituation after repetitive painful stimulation of the right hand. Our findings propose a bihemishperal contribution to central pain processing and pain modulation when electrophysiological habituation occurs.
