Increased pressure pain sensitivity and impaired descending pain control have been associated with chronic pain, but knowledge on the variability in the adult general population is lacking.Pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) and descending pain control as assessed by conditioning pain modulation (CPM) were recorded in a randomly selected sample (n=2199, 53% females) of the Danish adult general population aged 18-70 years. PPTs were recorded over the tibialis anterior muscle and the upper trapezius muscle.
