Slow temporal summation of pain for assessment of central pain sensitivity and clinical pain of fibromyalgia patients

R Staud, EE Weyl, JL Riley III, RB Fillingim - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Background In healthy individuals slow temporal summation of pain or wind-up (WU) can be
evoked by repetitive heat-pulses at frequencies of≥. 33 Hz. Previous WU studies have used …

Brain activity associated with slow temporal summation of C-fiber evoked pain in fibromyalgia patients and healthy controls

R Staud, JG Craggs, WM Perlstein, ME Robinson… - European Journal of …, 2008 - Elsevier
Temporal summation of “second pain”(TSSP) is the result of C-fiber-evoked responses of
