Pain relief by touch has been studied for decades in pain neuroscience. Human perceptual studies revealed analgesic effects of segmental tactile stimulation, as compared to extrasegmental touch.

In 2 experiments we tested whether, how, and where within a dermatome touch mo...

Examples of the first subgroup are seen when nerve trunks are involved by malignant disease, by po...
