Sex differences in the reactivity of gastric myoelectrical activity and heart rate variability as putative psychophysiological markers in human pain research by Rossitza Draganova, Genisius Hartanto, Robert Jan Pawlik, Jana Luisa Aulenkamp, Jana Luisa Aulenkamp, Sigrid Elsenbruch, Sigrid Elsenbruch

“…We investigated responses to the experience of pain from the visceral (rectal distension) and somatic (cutaneous heat) pain modalities, with a focus on elucidating sex differences in EGG and HRV responses.MethodsIn a sample of healthy volunteers (29 males, 43 females), EGG and ECG data were collected during a baseline and a pain phase. Data were analyzed for changes in gastric myoelectrical activity and cardiac autonomic regulation, with special attention to sex-specific patterns and correlations with perceptual responses to visceral and somatic pain stimuli, assessed by visual analogue scale ratings.ResultsAcute pain induced significant instability in EGG slow-wave frequency and amplitude, increased tachygastria, and decreased normogastric spectral power, without evidence of sex differences. …”
