Tonic vasoconstriction during sustained pain may reflect spinal nociceptive processing; hypothesis-generating for clinical translation.
Does prolonged noxious mechano-stimulation induce changes in pain perception and skin blood flow in human volunteers?
Prolonged noxious mechano-stimulation induces tonic reflex vasoconstriction mediated by nociceptor input, reflecting processing mainly at a spinal level.
Magerl et al. (1990) studied this question.
