Abstract Low back pain (LBP) has been inconsistently associated with enhanced pronociceptive and impaired antinociceptive mechanisms. It remains unknown whether alterations are causal, consequential, or coincidental to presence. This study investigated mechanisms in recurrent LBP (RLBP) patients across painful pain-free periods, compared age/sex-matched asymptomatic controls. During a episode (day 0) when 28), 30 RLBP were assessed controls over the same timeframe. Pressure thresholds...
Poor quality sleep is a common complaint among people with chronic pain. The co-occurrence of poor and pain often comes increased intensity, more disability higher cost healthcare. has been suggested to affect measures peripheral central mechanisms. To date, provocations are the only models proven mechanisms in healthy subjects. However, there limited studies investigating effect several nights disruption on mechanisms.The current study implemented three planned awakenings per night 30...
The aim of this study was to analyse the treatment and management renal injury patients presenting our major trauma unit determine likelihood needing immediate nephrectomy.The Trauma Audit Research Network (TARN) database used review cases department between February 2009 September 2013. Demographic data, mechanism severity injury, grade trauma, 30-day outcome were determined from TARN electronic patient records imaging.There a total 1,856 cases, which 36 (1.9%) had injury. In group, median...
Although maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force is reduced during pain, studies using interpolated twitch show no consistent reduction of muscle drive. The present study aimed to test if the in MVC acute experimental pain could be explained by increased activation antagonist muscles, weak at baseline, or changes direction. Twenty-two healthy volunteers performed isometric knee extensions before, during, and after effects hypertonic (pain) isotonic (control) saline injections into...
Abstract Pain perception can be studied as an inferential process in which prior information influences the of nociceptive input. To date, there are no suitable psychophysical paradigms to measure this at individual level. We developed a quantitative sensory testing paradigm allowing for quantification influence expectations versus current input during perception. Using Pavlovian-learning task, we investigated on belief about varying strength association between painful electrical cutaneous...
Musculoskeletal pain affects approximately 20% of the population worldwide and represents one leading causes global disability. As yet, precise mechanisms underlying development musculoskeletal transition to chronicity remain unclear, though individual factors such as sleep quality, physical activity, affective state, catastrophizing psychophysical sensitivity have all been suggested be involved. This study aimed investigate whether at baseline could predict intensity an experimental delayed...
Abstract Musculoskeletal injuries are a common presentation to the ED, with significant costs involved in management of these injuries, variances care within ED and associated morbidity. A series rapid review papers were completed guide best practice for assessment musculoskeletal presenting ED. This paper presents methodology used across reviews. PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, TRIP grey literature, including relevant organisational websites, searched 2015. The search was repeated consistently each...
Pathophysiological causes of low back pain (LBP) remain generally unclear, so focus has shifted to psychosocial features and central processing. Effects attentional affective manipulation on conditioned modulation tonic perception were examined in 30 patients with recurrent LBP 2 sessions, one without clinical pain, compared healthy participants. Phasic cuff pressure leg, scored a Numerical Rating Scale, was used for test stimuli, contralateral rated an electronic Visual Analogue Scale the...
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is often without clear underlying pathology. Affective disturbance and dysfunctional mechanisms, commonly observed in populations with CLBP, have, therefore, been suggested as potential contributors to CLBP development maintenance. However, little consensus exists on how these features interact if they can be targeted using non-invasive brain stimulation. In this pilot trial, 12 participants completed two phases (Active or Sham) of high-definition transcranial...
