    Department of Psychology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 35294 1170, USA
    Pain 75:121-7. 1998
    ..These findings suggest that gender differences in thermal pain perception may be more robust for sustained, temporally dynamic thermal stimuli with a strong C-fiber component...

    ..Administration of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist dextromethorphan (DM), but not vehicle, attenuated the vibration-induced pain at both sites...

    ..01). These data indicate that resting blood pressure is inversely associated with pain sensitivity among females, but this relationship may be selective for the affective component of pain...

    Somatosens Mot Res 16:57-62. 1999
    ..Also, thresholds appear to increase from session 1 to session 2, and thresholds assessed via different methods are not strongly correlated. Potential implications of these results for experimental pain assessment are discussed...

    Department of Psychology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 35294 1170, USA
