Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does relieving dyspnoea by non-invasive ventilation decrease pain thresholds in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?
Answer: Relieving dyspnoea by NIV in patients with ALS having respiratory failure is associated with decreased pressure pain thresholds. Clinical implications have yet to be determined, but this observation suggests that patients with ALS could become more susceptible to pain after the institution of NIV, hence the need for reinforced attention towards potentially painful diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
Output (English): yes
