Large-scale momentary brain co-activation patterns are associated with hyperalgesia and mediate focal neurochemistry and cross-network functional connectivity in fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia has been characterized by augmented cross-network functional communication between the brain’s sensorimotor, default mode, and attentional (salience/ventral and dorsal) networks. However, the underlying mechanisms of these aberrant communication patterns […]

Network analyses reveal the interaction between physical features, fear of movement and neck pain and disability in people with acute and chronic whiplash-associated disorders.

A network analysis can be used to quantitatively assess and graphically describe multiple interactions. This study applied network analyses to determine the interaction between physical and pain-related factors and fear […]

Peripheral nerve stimulation for the treatment of chronic knee pain.

The average age of our population is increasing, resulting in a high incidence of chronic degenerative knee pathologies. Several treatment options, including surgical procedures are available to help mitigate these […]

TRPV4 Activation and its Intracellular Modulation Mediated by Kinin Receptors Contribute to Painful Symptoms Induced by Anastrozole.

Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, induces painful musculoskeletal symptoms, which affect patients’ quality of life and lead to therapy discontinuation. Efforts have been made to understand the mechanisms involved in these […]

A Randomized, Controlled Neuroimaging Trial of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Fibromyalgia Pain.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by pervasive pain-related symptomatology and high levels of negative affect. Mind-body treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) appear to foster improvement in FM via reductions in […]

Does the painDETECT questionnaire identify impaired conditioned pain modulation in people with musculoskeletal pain? – a diagnostic accuracy study.

People with neuropathic-like symptoms had more unfavourable pain features than people with nociceptive. Moreover, deficient conditioned pain modulation is common in people with neuropathic-like symptoms. PainDETECT questionnaire have been used […]

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of multifidus muscle metabolites in chronic low back pain (CLBP).

The purpose of the study was to investigate several potential imaging biomarkers of CLBP that may be useful for diagnosis and treatment efficacy evaluation. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS) was […]

Changes in pain catastrophizing, fear-avoidance beliefs, and pain self-efficacy mediate changes in pain intensity on disability in the treatment of chronic low back pain.

Treatment of chronic low back pain (CLBP) based on the fear-avoidance model (FAM) has received support in randomized controlled trials, but few studies have examined treatment processes associated with treatment […]

Predictive value of texture analysis on lumbar MRI in patients with chronic low back pain.

The aim of this study was to determine whether MRI texture analysis could predict the prognosis of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain.

When Does Intervention End and Surgery Begin? The Role of Interventional Pain Management in the Treatment of Spine Pathology.

Recent advances in the field of interventional pain management (IPM) involve minimally invasive procedures such as percutaneous lumbar decompression, interspinous spacer placement, interspinous-interlaminar fusion and sacroiliac joint fusion. These developments […]
