The neural mechanisms for the persistence of pain after a technically successful arthroplasty in osteoarthritis (OA) remain minimally studied, and direct evidence of the brain as a predisposing factor for […]
Learn More >Cortical spreading depolarization (CSD) is a neuropathological condition involving propagating waves of neuronal silence, and is related to multiple diseases, such as migraine aura, traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, and […]
Learn More >Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involves chronic inflammation of synovial joints, causing pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. F-sodium fluoride (NaF) is a PET tracer whose uptake reflects bone turnover, while F-fludeoxyglucose (FDG) […]
Learn More >As cortical spreading depolarization (CSD) has been suggested to be the cause of migraine aura and as CSD can activate trigeminal nociceptive neurons in animals, it has been suggested that […]
Learn More >Migraine with aura (MwA) is a neurological condition manifested in moderate to severe headaches associated with transient visual and somatosensory symptoms, as well as higher cortical dysfunctions. Considering that about […]
Learn More >It is well established that trigeminal neuralgia is more prevalent in females than in males. Neurovascular compression with morphological changes of the trigeminal root represents the most recognized etiological factor. […]
Learn More >Periventricular white matter lesions (WMLs) are common MRI findings in migraine with aura (MA). Although hemodynamic disadvantages of vascular supply to this region create vulnerability, the pathophysiological mechanisms causing WMLs […]
Learn More >Enthesitis is a key disease manifestation in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) that considerably contributes to pain, lower physical function, and reduced quality of life. Clinical assessment of enthesitis lacks […]
Learn More >Acupuncture has shown promise in treating neck pain. Clinical trials have shown mixed results, possibly due to heterogeneous methodologies and the lack of knowledge regarding underlying brain circuit mechanism of […]
Learn More >To unravel the complexity of the neuropathic pain experience, researchers have tried to identify reliable pain signatures (biomarkers) using electroencephalography (EEG) and skin conductance (SC). Nevertheless, their use as a […]
