Neural correlates of heterotopic facilitation induced after high frequency electrical stimulation of nociceptive pathways

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>High frequency electrical stimulation (HFS) of primary nociceptive afferents in humans induce a heightened sensitivity in the surrounding non-stimulated skin area. Several studies suggest that this heterotopic effect is the result of...
