Eight healthy non-smoking males (mean age: 24.1 +/- 1.1 years) without any history of chronic muscle pain and migraine participated in this study. Haemoglobin (Hb) and oxygen (O-2) saturation in the right masseter muscle were continuously recorded with a non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopic device. Heart rate and blood pressure were also recorded. The experiment had three phases: a placebo drug (physiological saline) with cold-presser trial, a 30-sec maximal voluntary clenching (MVC) trial, and a propranolol with cold-presser trial. The saline and drug trials each involved continuous recording for 1 min before, 2 min during and 5 min after the cold-presser stimulation (4 degrees C). Physiological saline (20 ml) or propranolol hydrochloride (20 ml) were infused at the rate of 2 ml/min. This infusion was begun 20 min before the baseline recording and participants did not know which solution (saline or propranolol) was being infused. For the MVC trial, each participant was asked to perform a 30-sec clench of their jaw-closing muscles. There was a rest period of 15 min between each trial. The individual Hb and O-2 data were normalized so that the baseline at the beginning of the experiment was equal to zero, and the Hb and O-2 data were normalized as a percentage of the individual's own highest absolute Hb and O-2 after and during the MVC, respectively. The results showed that the mean baseline Hb 1 min before cold-presser stimulation was significantly lower in the beta-blocker trial than in the placebo trial (p = 0.035). The mean change in Hb from baseline during cold-presser stimulation in the beta-blocker trial was also significantly less than in the placebo trial (p = 0.035). The mean Hb rebound change after the cold-presser stimulation in the beta-blocker trial was significantly higher than in the placebo trial, and no significant heart-rate differences were observed in the period after cold-presser stimulation. Overall, the mean heart rate before and during that stimulation was significantly lower in the beta-blocker trial than the placebo trial (p < 0.001). There was no significant mean blood-pressure difference between placebo and beta-blocker trials at any time. These results suggest that beta-adrenoceptor blocking decreases the blood volume in the resting masseter, suppresses the incremental blood-volume change during cold-presser stimulation. and discloses a hidden vasoconstrictive effect after that stimulation.
