Urge-to-cough and dyspnea conceal perception of pain in healthy adults

Highlights ► We examined the effects of both urge-to-cough and dyspnea on pain induced by thermal noxious stimuli. ► Our study suggests that the respiratory sensations, i.e., urge-to-cough and dyspnea may harbor perception of pain. ► Further studies investigating interactions among respiratory sensa...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► We examined the effects of both urge-to-cough and dyspnea on pain induced by thermal noxious stimuli. ► Our study suggests that the respiratory sensations, i.e., urge-to-cough and dyspnea may harbor perception of pain. ► Further studies investigating interactions among respiratory sensations and pain in clinical settings are warranted.
