As with fibromyalgia, several musculoskeletal disorders are characterized by chronic pain, raising a clinical question – do the instruments used to assess fibromyalgia symptoms according to ACR criteria (ACR criteria) […]
Learn More >Mental traumatization is associated with long-bone growth retardation, osteoporosis and increased fracture risk. We revealed earlier that mental trauma disturbs cartilage-to-bone transition during bone growth and repair in mice. Trauma […]
Learn More >Persistent pain signals cause brain dysfunction and can further prolong pain. In addition, the physical restriction of movement (e.g., by a cast) can cause stress and prolong pain. Recently, it […]
Learn More >Low back pain is highly prevalent and the main cause of years lived with disability (YLDs). We present the most up-to-date global, regional, and national data on prevalence and YLDs […]
Learn More >Patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) exhibit changes in proprioceptive weighting and impaired postural control. This study aimed to investigate proprioceptive weighting changes in patients with CLBP and their […]
Learn More >In adults with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), transcutaneous spinal stimulation (scTS) has improved upper extremity strength and control. This novel noninvasive neurotherapeutic approach combined with training may modulate the […]
Learn More >Frozen shoulder (FS) is a chronic pain condition and has been shown to be associated with pain sensitization. However, the underyling brain mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we aimed to explore […]
Learn More >Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is one of the main causes of low back pain. Although local delivery strategies using biomaterial carriers have shown potential for IVDD treatment, it remains challenging […]
Learn More >Sensory neurons embedded in muscle tissue that initiate pain sensations, i.e., nociceptors, are temporarily sensitized by inflammatory mediators during musculoskeletal trauma. These neurons transduce peripheral noxious stimuli into an electrical […]
