Abstract
Pressure pain threshold (PPT) asymmetry of the left and right third digits was assessed in 12 right-handed and 12 left-handed subjects using an automatised pressure algometer. A clear PPT asymmetry was found in right-handed participants, while left-handed participants revealed no PPT asymmetry. The PPT asymmetry of right-handed participants was due to a reduced PPT or increased pain sensitivity at the left hand. Behavioural laterality tests revealed a right ear or left hemisphere advantage for the processing of verbal material (consonant-vocal syllables) and a left visual field or right hemisphere advantage for the processing of emotional faces in all participants. PPT asymmetry was not associated with cerebral laterality assessed with these tests. We conclude that PPT asymmetry is associated with handedness, but neither PPT asymmetry nor handedness are closely associated with measures of cerebral laterality.

A clear PPT asymmetry was found in right-handed participants, while left-handed participants revealed no PPT asymmetry. The PPT asymmetry of right-handed participants was due to a reduced PPT or increased pain sensitivity at the left hand. Behavioural laterality tests revealed a right ear or left hemisphere advantage for the processing of verbal material (consonant-vocal syllables) and a left visual field or right hemisphere advantage for the processing of emotional faces in all participants. PPT asymmetry was not associated with cerebral laterality assessed with these tests. We conclude that PPT asymmetry is associated with handedness, but neither PPT asymmetry nor handedness are closely associated with measures of cerebral laterality.</abstract><note type="content">Section title: Regular Article</note><subject lang="en"><genre>Keywords</genre><topic>pressure–pain threhold, handedness, laterality.</topic></subject><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>European Journal of Pain</title></titleInfo><titleInfo type="abbreviated"><title>YEUJP</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal">journal</genre><originInfo><dateIssued encoding="w3cdtf">199906</dateIssued></originInfo><identifier type="ISSN">1090-3801</identifier><identifier type="PII">S1090-3801(00)X0011-0</identifier><part><date>199906</date><detail type="volume"><number>3</number><caption>vol.</caption></detail><detail type="issue"><number>2</number><caption>no.</caption></detail><extent unit="issue pages"><start>73</start><end>181</end></extent><extent unit="pages"><start>151</start><end>156</end></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">B001E3A502A5F19B74A7E1D740CAAE53098D6D54</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1053/eujp.1999.0108</identifier><identifier type="PII">S1090-3801(99)90108-8</identifier><accessCondition type="use and reproduction" contentType="copyright">©1999 European Federation of Chapters of the International Association for the Study of Pain</accessCondition><recordInfo><recordContentSource>ELSEVIER</recordContentSource><recordOrigin>European Federation of Chapters of the International Association for the Study of Pain, ©1999</recordOrigin></recordInfo></mods></metadata><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
