Summary
The aim of this proposal is to characterize pain inhibition in healthy controls and
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) patients with two models of endogenous pain modulation
(off-set analgesia; conditioned pain modulation), and to investigate the function of the
endogenous opioid system in these responses by using pharmacological blockade of the opioid
receptor.
