Key Points

Pain onset is identified through low-dose provocation, indicating the response of sensitized nociceptors.
The study employs a quantitative discometry approach to evaluate the relationship between pressure and pain.
Results highlight the significant role of nociceptor sensitization in pain perception under controlled conditions.
These findings may enable better pain management strategies and further research into nociceptor functions.
