Cutaneous hyperalgesia is prominent in the ultraviolet-B (UVB) model of inflammatory pain. This study investigated possible interactions between cutaneous and deep tissues hyperalgesia. ⋯ Moderate degrees of muscle sensitization could not facilitate UVB-induced cutaneous mechanical sensitivity, whereas UVB-induced neurogenic inflammation is enhanced when the DOMS is present.
