Abstract Background Biomarkers would greatly assist chronic pain management. The present study aimed to undertake analytical validation of a sensorimotor cortical biomarker signature for consisting two measures: peak alpha frequency (PAF) and corticomotor excitability (CME), using human model prolonged temporomandibular (masseter intramuscular injection nerve growth factor [NGF]). Methods 150 participants received an NGF the right masseter muscle on Days 0 2, inducing lasting up 4 weeks....
Diffuse noxious inhibitory controls (DNICs), or the pain inhibits phenomenon, refer to reduced pain-like behaviors that are displayed following a conditioning stimulus located far from test and have also been referred as "descending control of nociception" when measured in awake-behaving animals. In this study, we sought determine impact moderate long-term exercise on DCN response if effect differed across age sex. After six-week program consisting 30 min treadmill running 5 days week,...
Summary Aberrant cognitive network activity and deficits are established features of chronic pain. However, the nature alterations associated with pain their underlying mechanisms require elucidation. Here, we report that claustrum, a subcortical nucleus implicated in modulation, is activated by acute painful stimulation pain-predictive cues healthy participants. Moreover, discover pathological claustrum lateral aspect right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (latDLPFC) migraine patients....
