Interactions between dyspnea and the brain processing of nociceptive stimuli:experimental air hunger attenuates laser-evoked brain potentials in humans.
Dyspnea and pain share several characteristics and certain neural networks and interact with each other. Dyspnea-pain counter-irritation consists of attenuation of preexisting pain by intercurrent dyspnea and has been shown to have neurophysiological correlates in the form of inhibition of the nocic...
