Cortical modulation of nociception by galvanic vestibular stimulation: A potential clinical tool?

Objective: Vestibular afferents converge with nociceptive ones within the posterior insula, and can therefore modulate nociception. Consistent with this hypothesis, caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS) has been shown to reduce experimental and clinical pain. Since CVS can induce undesirable effects...
