The evaluation of chronic pelvic and perineal pain (CPP) is often complex. patient's description the appears to be disproportionate limited findings on physical examination and/or complementary investigations. concept central sensitization may allow better understanding management patients with CPP.The aim this study was elaborate a clinical tool designed simply identify in pain.A list 63 items submitted 22 international CPP experts according Delphi method.Ten criteria were adopted for...
Although cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is associated with migraine, and migraine in turn orthostatic tachycardia, few studies have explored the association of CVS autonomic dysfunction. We describe results testing 6 children characteristic CVS.All patients fully met established criteria for diagnosis CVS, were well hydrated, beyond their episode vomiting. performed 3 tests cardiovascular function 1 sudomotor test, using standard previously published methods.The findings surprisingly...
This study aimed to estimate the proportion of patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/BPS) systemic dysfunction associated co-morbidities such as irritable bowel (IBS) and fibromyalgia (FM).Two groups subjects IC/BPS were included: (1) physician diagnosed (2) meeting NIDDK IC/PBS criteria based on a questionnaire (ODYSA). These compared healthy controls matched for age socio-economic status. required: pain filling that improves emptying, urinary urgency due...
Previous studies examining the resting-state functional connectivity of periaqueductal gray (PAG) in chronic visceral pain have localized PAG coordinates derived from BOLD responses to provoked acute pain. These appear be several millimeters anterior anatomical location PAG. Therefore, we aimed determine whether measures are sensitive localization technique, and if approach has an impact on detecting disease-related differences patients. We examined structural MRI (rs-fMRI) images 209...

There is increasing evidence that autonomic neuropathies may adversely affect gastrointestinal motility by involving the extrinsic nerves of gut. The authors' hypothesize functional abdominal pain in children associated with generalized dysfunction.The authors performed detailed testing eight patients pain, including deep breathing, Valsalva, tilting (to assess parasympathetic and sympathetic adrenergic function), axon-reflex function thermoregulatory sweat to cholinergic function. Patients...
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome and myofascial pelvic are frequently comorbid chronic disorders. Differences in bladder function between interstitial suggest that efferent autonomic may differentiate these syndromes. Heart rate variability, defined as the difference duration of successive heartbeats, serves an index by measuring its ability to modify heart response neurophysiological changes. High frequency variability was used a reflection more rapid vagally mediated...
Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) shares many features with migraine headache, including auras, photophobia, and antimigrainous treatment response being traditionally viewed as a variant. Aims. To determine whether CVS is associated the same disorders compare these associations to those in healthy control subjects.Cross-sectional study of patients utilizing ODYSA instrument, evaluating probability 12 functional/autonomic diagnoses, CVS, migraine, orthostatic intolerance (OI), reflex syncope,...
Some patients with functional abdominal pain report worsening of symptoms in the upright position. Many these have a postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS). We investigated whether electrical activity stomach changes during portion tilt table test and without POTS.All children undergoing autonomic testing were offered enrollment this institutional review board-approved prospective study between October 2007 January 2009. Electrogastrography was recorded 10 minutes supine position entire tilt....
To determine the feasibility of a detailed pain sensitivity assessment using body-wide musculoskeletal tender points (TPs) in women with different types chronic pelvic (CPP) and compare phenotypic differences.Seventy CPP 35 pain-free underwent evaluation TPs floor, abdomen, groin, inner thigh, all 18 fibromyalgia TPs. Patients scored elicited on numeric rating scale. TP scores were used for intergroup comparison intragroup correlation.Women grouped as having either bladder syndrome (BPS,...
