Increased Sensitivity to Thermal Pain Following a Single Opiate Dose Is Influenced by the COMT val(158)met Polymorphism
Increased pain sensitivity after opioid administration (opioid-induced hyperalgesia) and/or repeated painful stimuli is an individually varying and clinically important phenomenon. The functional polymorphism (val(158)met) of the Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene regulates the metabolism of d...
