Sentence examples for evoke itch from inspiring English sources

Conditioning stimuli were cold pressor-induced pain and histamine-evoked itch, whereas the test stimuli were electrical stimulation paradigms designed to evoke itch or pain.

Coughing helps to clear irritants and evoke itch-suppressing mechanical pain in the airway, similar to scratching itchy skin.

The predominant primary afferent substrate for electrically evoked itch in humans, using the presently applied stimulation paradigm, is concluded to be capsaicin-sensitive polymodal C-fibers.

Since low-threshold mechano-receptors have recently been implicated in pruriception we aimed to characterize the peripheral primary afferent subpopulation conveying electrically evoked itch in humans (50 Hz stimulation, 100 μs square pulses, stimulus-response function to graded stimulus intensity).

Antagonists of kinin (B1 and B2) receptors help reduce itch from PAR2 agonists, implying that kinin receptors are activated downstream from PAR2 and can mediate protease evoked itch also [ 83].

Doubt on PAR2's role in itch was recently shown in a 2011 paper by Liu et al. It was shown that the PAR2 agonist SLIGRL activates a member of the Mrgpr family, MrgprC11 and it is through the activation of this receptor, that SLIGRL evokes itch [ 158].

Within the skin, TSLP also activates sensory neurons via TSLPR, and, subsequently, TRPA1 stimulation via a PLC-mediated pathway, thereby evoking robust itching in mice (Wilson et al., 2013b).

Itch evoked by bradykinin is histamine-independent [ 72].

The topical capsaicin robustly, and with similar efficaciousness, inhibited itch intensity evoked by electrical stimulation and histamine (−89 ± 4.1% and −78 ± 4.9%, respectively, both: P < 0.0001 compared to the placebo patch area).

Application of bradykinin to the skin evokes feelings of weak itch and pain in healthy skin.

However, robust descending inhibition of itch cannot be evoked with conditioning itch stimulation.
