Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Opioid-induced hyperalgesia, which is an increased sensitivity to pain, is believed to occur due to long-term potentiation, which is the strengthening of connections among nerve cells in the spinal cord. Inhibition is not the cause of hyperalgesia, acute pain typically does not result in opioid-induced hyperalgesia, and desensitization is associated with reduced sensitivity to pain rather than increased sensitivity.
