The concept "nociplastic pain" has been developed for patients with features of nociceptive system sensitization that are not explained as or neuropathic. Here, we tested how well the recently published grading differentiates between chronic primary and secondary pain conditions. We recruited fibromyalgia (FMS, n = 41), complex regional syndrome (CRPS, 11), osteoarthritis (OA, 21), peripheral nerve injury (PNI, 8). used clinical history, drawings, quantitative sensory testing (QST),...
Abstract The concept ‘nociplastic pain’ has been developed for patients in whom clinical and psychophysical findings suggest a predominant central sensitization type of pain that is not fully explained as nociceptive or neuropathic. Here we tested, how well the recently published grading system differentiates between chronic primary secondary conditions. We recruited with Fibromyalgia (FMS, 41), Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS, 11), Osteoarthritis (OA, 21) Peripheral Nerve Injury (PNI,...
Interpersonal victimization experiences (VEs) significantly affect mental and physical health, particularly in disorders associated with life-time adversities, like fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) major depressive disorder (MDD). However, assessing VEs comprehensively remains challenging due to limited tools that encompass sub-traumatic events, such as bullying or discrimination, contextual dimensions. We aimed address this gap by validating the Victimization Experience Schedule (VES) German,...
Continuous real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neurofeedback is gaining increasing scientific attention in clinical neuroscience and may benefit from the short repetition times of modern multiband echoplanar sequences. However, minimizing feedback delay can result technical challenges. Here, we report a problem experienced during continuous fMRI with times. We identify possible origins this problem, describe our current interim solution provide openly available workflows...
Abstract Background The majority of knowledge about fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) derives from studies female patients. Little is known the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes male FMS Objective We investigated whether patients differ in terms 1.) symptom burden, 2.) psychological characteristics, 3.) response. Methods For this retrospective cohort study with a prospective posttreatment-follow-up, we identified 263 (4%) out 5,541 completing three-week multimodal pain-treatment...
