An Examination of Pain Perception and Cerebral Event-Related Potentials following Carbon Dioxide Laser Stimulation in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease and Age-Matched Control Volunteers

BACKGROUND: Pain perception is known to depend on integrated cognitive processing. Alzheimer's disease affects 5% to 10% of older adults, but the impact of this disease on pain sensitivity and report has yet to be fully investigated.
