Does not support clinical use of PRES for pain; hypothesis-generating for baroreflex modulation of mechanical thresholds.
Does PRES baroreceptor stimulation alter thermal and mechanical pain thresholds in normotensive and labile hypertensive subjects?
Noninvasive carotid baroreceptor stimulation increases mechanical pain thresholds in both normotensive and hypertensive individuals, supporting a link between baroreceptor activation and pain dampening.
Rau et al. (1994) studied this question.
