Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does selective activation of muscle and skin nociceptors trigger exaggerated sympathetic responses in spinal-injured subjects?
Answer: While hypertonic saline injected into muscle or skin induces strong pain, cutaneous vasoconstriction and sweat release in able-bodied subjects, we saw no evidence of exaggerated sympathoexcitation when these same noxious stimuli were delivered below lesion in subjects with SCI. This suggests that certain types of somatic noxious input may not trigger autonomic dysreflexia, and questions the concept that any painful stimuli originating below lesion can reliably trigger dysreflexia.
Output (English): no
