Analysis reveals altered cold detection thresholds in healthy participants using electrical stimulation, suggesting insights into Aδ fibers.

Conditioning electrical stimulation significantly decreased cold detection threshold by 1 °C.
The average cold detection threshold changed from 26.8 °C to 25.8 °C with stimulation (p = 0.006).
The study employed a two-way rmANOVA to analyze the results, focusing on cold and warm detection thresholds.
Findings indicate potential for further research in cold sensing fiber excitability, though small sample size limits generalizability.

Clausen et al. (2025) studied this question.
