Hypercapnia Reduces Perceived Heat Pain in Healthy Subjects
It was shown that hypercapnia leads to reduced perception of noxious heat stimuli. If confirmed by neural data in future studies this could help to better understand the interaction of pain perception and continuous physiological danger signals in clinical pain conditions, potentially allowing for improved treatment of affected individuals.
