The relationship between cardiovascular responses and pain produced by the submaximal-effort tourniquet procedure was evaluated in healthy humans. Graded increases in ischemic pain were associated with graded elevations in arterial blood pressure, forearm vascular resistance, and venous tone. Many o...
