Diffuse noxious inhibitory controls in chronic joint inflammatory Pain: Study of the descending serotonergic modulation mediated through 5HT3 receptors

The loss of diffuse noxious inhibitory controls (DNIC) is recognized as a predictor of chronic pain. Mechanistically, DNIC produces analgesia by a heterotopically applied conditioning-noxious stimulus (CS) and yet underexplored descending modulatory inputs. Here, we aimed at studying DNIC in monoart...
