Résumé

Although reduced experimental pain habituation is proposed as a proxy of diminished endogenous pain modulatory capacity in chronic pain, prior studies show contradictory findings. Even across healthy participants, pain habituation varies substantially, which may relate to another measure of endogenous pain modulation, i.e., conditioned pain modulation (CPM). Hence, this study investigated the relationship between pain habituation and CPM. Pain habituation was assessed in 45 healthy participants between two blocks of 15-20 contact-heat stimuli applied to the hand. Habituation of subjective pain ratings and objective neurophysiological readouts (contact-heat evoked potential (CHEP) and palmar sympathetic skin response (SSR)) was investigated. CPM was assessed by comparing heat pain thresholds before and after hand immersion in a noxious cold (9 °C) and lukewarm water bath (32 °C, to control for repeated measures effects). Pain habituation showed a large variability, with subjective but not objective pain habituation correlating with cold-induced CPM effects (r = 0.50; p = 0.025). This correlation was not observed for 'true' CPM effects (corrected for repeated measures effects) nor for CPM effects induced by a lukewarm water bath. These findings suggest that the observed variability in subjective pain habituation may be influenced by both descending endogenous pain modulation and peripheral adaptation processes associated with repeated measures. Objective pain habituation readouts, i.e., CHEPs and SSRs, capture different, complementary aspects of endogenous pain modulation.
