C - unmyelinated, small diameter fibers, slow conducting; more diffuse pain experience, burning, aching, dull: modulation of the pain that involves changing or inhibiting the transmission of the pain impulses in the spinal cord.

Changes in circadian rhythm - changes in release of various hormones like insulin,
