Abstract
Tissue injuries, with or without involvement of nerves, may lead to ongoing pain and hyperalgesia to external stimuli. In a subset of patients, the pain is maintained by sympathetic efferent activity (SMP). We investigated if the peripheral administration of the α-adrenergic agonist, norepinKeywords
