Day-night differences of trigeminal chemosensitivity were investigated in 18 healthy volunteers employing both pain-related cortical potentials and pain ratings in response to stimulation of the nasal mucosa with CO2. Day-night differences were found with N 1 P2 amplitudes, P2 latencies and pain ratings. It is concluded that the time of the day must not be ignored when human chemosensitivity is investigated at suprathreshold levels.
