Analgesic drugs that "kill" this sense include NSAIDs and opioids.
Mutations in the SCN9A sodium channel can amplify or completely inhibit this process. It has nothing to do with hair or skin color, but this process occurs differently in people with a mutated melanocortin-1 receptor. Signals involved in this process can be transmitted quickly through A-delta fibers. Neurokinin 1 receives signals of this process from the excitatory neurotransmitters glutamate and (*) substance P. Some drugs that inhibit this response work by inhibiting mu receptors or cyclooxygenase receptors. Capsaicin can be used to inhibit this response, whose scientific name is nociception.
