“…body mass index) and thresholds of nociception have been reported in humans [47] . Age-related changes in thresholds have been observed in rats [6] , [27] and reports in humans indicate that thermal and mechanical thresholds increase with age [30] , [51] . Greater pig body weights may be related to deeper thickness of soft tissues, which may consequently require the delivery of mechanical stimuli of greater force.…”

The assessment of nociceptive thresholds is employed in animals and humans to evaluate changes in sensitivity potentially arising from tissue damage. Its application on the intact pig tail might represent a suitable method to assess changes in nociceptive thresholds arising from tail injury, such as tail docking or tail biting. The Pressure Application Measurement (PAM) device is used here for the first time on the tail of pigs to determine the reliability of the methods and to provide novel data on mechanical nociceptive thresholds (MNT) associated with four different age groups (9, 17, 24 and 32 weeks) and with proximity of the target region to the body of the animal. We recorded an overall acceptable level of intra-individual reliability, with mean values of CV ranging between 30.1 and 32.6%. Across all age groups, the first single measurement of MNT recorded at region 1 (proximal) was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than the following two. This was not observed at tail regions 2 and 3 (more distal). Age had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on the mean thresholds of nociception with increasing age corresponding to higher thresholds. Furthermore, a significant effect of proximity of tail region to the body was observed (P < 0.05), with MNT being higher in the proximal tail region in pigs of 9, 17 and 24 weeks of age. There was also a significant positive correlation (P < 0.05) between mechanical nociceptive thresholds and age/body size of the animals.To the best of our knowledge, no other investigation of tail nociceptive thresholds has been performed with the PAM device or alternative methods to obtain mechanical nociceptive thresholds in intact tails of pigs of different age/body size. The reliability of the data obtained with the PAM device support its use in the measurement of mechanical nociceptive threshold in pig tails. This methodological approach is possibly suitable for assessing changes in tail stump MNTs after tail injury caused by tail docking and biting.

“…There is evidence that women and men experience and report pain differently. Sex differences of experimentally induced pain have been described in the literature, reporting that women perceive physically or chemically induced pain more strongly than men [ 49 – 54 , 80 , 81 ]. These differences are not restricted to tactile perception and can be supposed for the whole body [ 82 – 84 ].…”

“…: 1.) Since pain perception differs depending on sex [49][50][51][52][53][54], and since performance motivation also mediates pain tolerance sex-dependently [34,55], this study focused on the question whether athletes' performance motivation is an important parameter for the athletesù se of OTC analgesics. The sport motivation was measured by means of the questionnaire AMS-Sport [37].…”

Background Compared with the normal adult population, athletes of several sport disciplines, such as endurance sports, ball sports, cycling and swimming, have higher use of over-the-counter analgesics (OTC analgesics). The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of OTC analgesic use in volleyball players as a typical competitive sport discipline. One particular focus was placed on the analysis whether the athletes’ use of OTC analgesics was influenced by their performance motivation. Methods A cross-sectional survey among amateur volleyball players was carried out using a web-based sports questionnaire. The study included athletes of both sexes, 18 years and older, currently playing in a German volleyball league. The athletes’ sport-related complaints were evaluated regarding the use of OTC analgesics. The use of OTC analgesics by athletes was compared with their performance motivation, based on the „Achievement Motives Scale - Sport” (AMS-Sport) questionnaire. Results The analysis of 114 completed questionnaires of amateur athletes revealed that the use of OTC analgesics was sex dependent, with a higher prevalence of use in female players (60%) versus male players (38%). The main reasons for consumption of OTC analgesics were pain in the head, knee and shoulder. The most frequently taken drug was ibuprofen, most often taken at competitions and over a period of 4 years (median). The analysis of the AMS-Sport questionnaire revealed that a logistic regression model for estimating the probability of drug use can be explained by the factors hope of success and years of playing practise in female players but not male players. In females, an increase in the factor hope of success resulted in a lower probability of OTC analgesic use, while an increase in years of playing practise resulted in a higher probability of use. Conclusion The average duration that volleyball players in this study took OTC analgesics was higher than that of the German population, and OTC analgesic use was more prevalent in female than male volleyball players. Thus, to reduce the prevalence of OTC analgesic use, educational programs should be implemented in sports teams; and, to reduce direct and indirect social pressure, sports teams should also receive sex-specific psychological support.

“…Next, a series of 15 identical stimuli were applied every 2 s (0.5 Hz) to the same site after which the maximum intensity experienced during the series was rated. Temporal summation was quantified using the ratio between the ratings of the series and the single stimulus (series/single) (Rolke et al., 2006a).…”
