Hypoalgesia linked to parental hypertension history in men is not baroreceptor-mediated; leaves open alternative mechanisms for hypertension-pain associations.
Does baroreceptor stimulation affect subjective pain and nociceptive responding in men and women with a positive or negative parental history of hypertension?
Hypoalgesia is linked to hypertension risk in men, but this attenuated pain perception does not appear to be driven by enhanced baroreceptor activity.
Al’Absi et al. (2005) studied this question.
