This works provides evidence that is possible to induce antinociceptive plasticity in a wide territory using pPNS. Moreover, it demonstrates for the first time in humans that a protocol aiming to produce long-term potentiation applied predominantly over non-nociceptive afferents induces hypoesthesia and hypoalgesia.
