A promising stream of investigations is targeting ongoing neural oscillations and whether their modulation could be related to the perception pain. Using an electroencephalography (EEG) frequency-tagging approach, sustained periodic thermonociceptive stimuli perceived as painful have been shown modulate in theta, alpha beta bands at frequency stimulation. Nonetheless, it remains uncertain these modulations are indeed linked pain perception. To test this relationship, we modulated using a...

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-derived phase angle (PhA) has been used to assess cellular health in various populations, but its usefulness as a tool for measuring muscular performance adult athletes not extensively investigated. Our investigation examined the association of whole-body (WB) PhA with 117 from different sports and additionally assessed whether regional was better indicator compared WB, while accounting lean soft tissue (LST). Muscular handgrip strength countermovement...

Habituation is a response decrement resulting from repeated stimuli. Reduced habituation to noxious stimuli considered be proxy for central sensitization in subjects with chronic pain. Despite numerous investigations of pain relation sensitization, there no consensus on the most sensitive and reliable readout, as well analysis approach. Therefore, this study compared usability reliability different readouts approaches measure repetitive heat simulation.Three blocks 20 contact were applied...
