Zusammenfassung

C-fiber input to the central nervous system is considered to represent an important antecedent for the experience of secondary pain. Clinically more important, this input is suggested to play a major role in the chronification of pain. However, there are only limited possibilities to investigate this input selectively, i.e., without simultaneous activation of C-fibers. One method that allows the selective activation of cutaneous A- and C-fiber afferents in humans is the stimulation of tiny skin surface areas (about 0.23mm2). We used this method for stimulation of the dorsum of the left hand and the left foot usi…
