Wikipedia says... Når behandling skal avsluttes, ser man gjerne agitasjon, angst, svimmelhet, hodepine, kvalme og parestesier (en pitrende følelse som minner om "enkemannsstøt").

Maybe it's a dialect thing (I'm North Norwegian) but I would understand the word as describing a tingling/stinging feeling, like snow crystals in the air hitting your skin for example.
Katarzyna Lewandowska, PhD (asker) Mar 9, 2016:
No, it's not, it's machine written and the word is repeated a couple times.
Norskpro Mar 9, 2016:
I am asking because I wonder if the term actually should be "sitre (sitrende)".
Norskpro Mar 9, 2016:
Is the original document handwritten?
