Animal Models of Nociception
TL;DR: It is concluded that although the neural basis of the most used tests is poorly understood, their use will be more profitable if pain is considered within, rather than apart from, the body's homeostatic mechanisms.

G D. Simons,S Mense +1 more
TL;DR: Measurable sources of muscle tension include viscoelastic tone, physiological contracture, voluntary contraction, and muscle spasm (which the authors define as involuntary muscle contraction), which is most accurately measured as stiffness.
