In addition, we also observed significant pain attenuation at the non-stimulated limbs.
In this study we (i) explore the somatotopic specificity of pain attenuation over time and (ii) investigate the role of the endogenous opioid system in its development.
As previous experiments have shown, DNIC requires a strong conditioning stimulus for pain attenuation, which may be at least partly dependent on a distraction effect.
LLLT applications, which have been promoted by some authors and manufacturers of the LLLT devices, included the acceleration of wound healing, enhancement of the remodeling and repair of bones, restoration of normal neural function following injury, pain attenuation, and modulation of the immune system [27].
Benefits in terms of pain attenuation, patient comfort, time saving, and lower costs need to be assessed in a randomized prospective study.
Similarly, it evoked significant dose dependent reduction in noxious stimulation with 42.07% and 64.57% pain attenuation at 5 and 10 mg/kg i.p., respectively in initial phase.

Previous studies in human patients show that preemptive analgesia, commencing before surgery and continuing in the postoperative period, prevents the establishment of peripheral and central sensitization, as patients receiving preemptive analgesia exhibited less severe pain and attenuation of proinflammatory cytokine production throughout the postoperative period [ 37].
Specifically, GDNF treatment has been shown to restore peripheral sensory neurone function, including peptide and ion channel expression patterns, following painful peripheral nerve injury accompanied by an attenuation of pain behaviors.
Also CB2 receptors appear to contribute to the analgesic effect, as suggested by the attenuation of pain in animal models of inflammatory and nociceptive pain [37].
The attenuation of pain response was NMDA specific since CCI rats receiving Lv-GFP intrathecally had no pain relief, as compared to NS treated CCI rats.
Habituation was assessed by comparing pain-related responses (ratings and thresholds) between days 1 and 8. To test whether a repetition-dependent attenuation of pain is restricted to the site of stimulus application or induces additional systemic effects indicative of a central mechanism, we also measured pain-related responses at the contralateral arm and the left leg.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
