The effect of sleep restriction on laser evoked potentials, thermal sensory and pain thresholds and suprathreshold pain in healthy subjects

Highlights • Randomized blinded study on the effects of sleep restriction on laser evoked potentials (LEP) amplitude, LEP-habituation, pain threshold and suprathreshold pain in healthy subjects. • Sleep restriction reduced LEP-amplitudes and thenar cold pain thresholds. • The results suggest that th...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Randomized blinded study on the effects of sleep restriction on laser evoked potentials (LEP) amplitude, LEP-habituation, pain threshold and suprathreshold pain in healthy subjects. • Sleep restriction reduced LEP-amplitudes and thenar cold pain thresholds. • The results suggest that the observed hyperalgesia after sleep restriction might be caused by cognitive or perceptual mechanisms, rather than sensory amplification.
