Determinants of pressure pain threshold in adult twins: evidence that shared environmental influences predominate
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The data suggest that there is no significant genetic contribution to the strong correlation in PPT that is observed in twin pairs, and reinforce the view that learned patterns of behaviour within families are an important determinant of perceived sensitivity to pain.
