25 Does Acupuncture induce DNIC?

28

29 Does Acupuncture induce DNIC?? o It cannot be ignored that DNIC is very likely to add to the overall effect of acupuncture related pain control! o It is probably stronger in acute clinical pain and in experimental laboratory pain as compared to chronic pain. o It cannot be the only mechanism, since e.g. chronic pain patients show a reduced DNIC response. However, acupuncture may provide retraining of DNIC in chronic pain.

30

31 Implications for experimental setups (mostly performed in healthy controls) Always test acupuncture on an experimental pain stimulus!
