Because there are no clinical signs of swelling, such illusions may represent perceptual distortions. In this study, we examine whether nociceptive stimulation can lead to perceptual distortion of the face in a way similar to that of local anesthesia. Sixteen healthy participants received injections of 0.4 mL hypertonic saline to induce short-term nociceptive stimulation, 0.4 mL Mepivacain (local anesthetics) to transiently block nerve transduction and 0.4 mL isotonic saline as a control condition. Injections were performed in both the infraorbital and the mental nerve region. Perceptual distortions were conceptualized as perceived changes in magnitude of the injected areas and the lips, and it was measured using 1) a verbal subjective rating scale and 2) a warping procedure. Prior to the study, participants filled in several psychological questionnaires. This study shows that both nociceptive stimulation (p<0.05) and transient blocking of nerve transduction (p<0.05) can lead to perceptual distortion of the face. A test-retest experiment including nine new healthy subjects supported the results. Perceptual distortions were positively correlated with the psychological variable dissociation in several conditions (p<0.05).
