Abstract
Resting blood pressure is inversely correlated with acute pain sensitivity in healthy normotensives. This study tested: (1) whether endogenous opioid activity is necessary for this adaptive relationship to occur, (2) whether this relationship is altered in chronic low back pain (LBP), and (3Keywords
