Warm fiber activity in human skin nerves
TLDR
Preliminary results are described of single warm fiber activity recorded from human cutaneous nerves from fibers excited by noxious heat.Abstract:
In human subjects, afferent impulses elicited by thermal stimulation of the skin have been recorded so far from cutaneous nerve fibers responding to cooling (Hensel and Boman, 1960) and from fibers excited by noxious heat (van Hees and Gybels, 1972; TorebjGrk, 1974; TorebjGrk and Hallin, 1974). In the present note preliminary results are described of single warm fiber activity recorded from human cutaneous nerves.read more

Peripheral suppression of first pain and central summation of second pain evoked by noxious heat pulses
TL;DR: The relationship between first and second pain and impulse conduction in A&dgr; and C noxious heat afferents, respectively and previous studies have shown that wide dynamic range dorsal horn neurons show summated responses to repeated volleys in C fibers could account for the summation of second pain.

Taxol-induced sensory disturbance is characterized by preferential impairment of myelinated fiber function in cancer patients.
TL;DR: The data suggest that taxol produces a neuropathy characterized by pronounced impairment of function in A‐beta myelination fibers, intermediate impairment of A‐delta myelinated fibers, and a relative sparing of C‐fibers.

Peripheral neural mechanisms of cutaneous hyperalgesia following mild injury by heat.
TL;DR: The results support the conclusion that altered activity in CMH nociceptors is a major peripheral determinant of cutaneous hyperalgesia following a mild heat injury to the skin.

C nociceptor activity in human nerve during painful and non painful skin stimulation.
J Van Hees,Jan Gybels +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that nociceptive C input provoked by thermal or chemical stimuli correlates well with pain sensation, however, similar C input provided by mechanical stimulation, which activates also A beta mechanoreceptors, did not necessarily produce pain sensation.

Afferent G Units Responding to Mechanical, Thermal and Chemical Stimuli in Human Non‐Glabrous Skin
TL;DR: It is concluded that polymodal C receptors, similar with “polymodal nociceptors” in the cat and monkey, are numerous in skin areas sparsely covered with hairs on the dorsum of the foot and ankle in man, whereas no low threshold C mechanoreceptors were identified.
