Contribution of Immune Cells to Intervertebral Disc Degeneration and the Potential of Immunotherapy.

Substantial evidence supports that chronic low back pain is associated with intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), which is accompanied by decreased cell activity and matrix degradation. The role of immune cells, […]

Distinct alterations in central pain processing of visceral and somatic pain in quiescent ulcerative colitis compared to irritable bowel syndrome and health.

Despite relevance to pain chronicity, disease burden, and treatment, mechanisms of pain perception for different types of acute pain remain incompletely understood in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Building […]

Exercise increases pain self-efficacy in adults with non-specific chronic low back pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

To determine the effect of exercise on pain self-efficacy in adults with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). Intervention systematic review with meta-analysis We searched the Cochrane Central Register of […]

Depressive symptoms moderate functional connectivity within the emotional brain in chronic pain.

Depressive symptoms are often comorbid with chronic pain. These conditions share aberrant emotion processing and regulation, as well as having common brain networks. However, the relationship between depressive symptoms and […]

Labour’s pain: strenuous subsistence work, mechanical wear-and-tear and musculoskeletal pain in a non-industrialized population.

Musculoskeletal pain is the most debilitating human health condition. Neurophysiological pain mechanisms are highly conserved and promote somatic maintenance and learning to avoid future harm. However, some chronic pain might […]

Unsupervised learning for prognostic validity in patients with chronic pain in transdisciplinary pain care.

Chronic pain is not a singular disorder and presents in various forms and phenotypes. Here we show data from a cohort of patients seeking treatment in a transdisciplinary pain clinic. […]

Stem cells and discogenic back pain.

Chronic low back pain, common from the sixth decade, negatively impacts the quality of life of patients and health care systems. Recently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been introduced in […]

Cell type-specific dissection of sensory pathways involved in descending modulation.

Decades of research have suggested that stimulation of supraspinal structures, such as the periaqueductal gray (PAG) and rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM), inhibits nocifensive responses to noxious stimulation through a process […]

Identification and Characterization of Pain Processing Patterns Among Patients with Chronic Primary Pain: A replication.

To develop individual and effective treatment plans for patients with chronic pain, we aimed to replicate Grolimund et al’s (2017) empirical categorization of chronic pain patients on a new and […]

Pain chronification impacts whole-brain functional connectivity in women with hip osteoarthritis during pain stimulation.

Previous neuroimaging studies have shown that patients with chronic pain display altered functional connectivity across distributed brain areas involved in the processing of nociceptive stimuli. The aim of the present […]
