Abstract Study Objectives Opioid withdrawal is an aversive experience that often exacerbates depressive symptoms and poor sleep. The aims of the present study were to examine effects suvorexant on oscillatory sleep-electroencephalography (EEG) band power during medically managed opioid withdrawal, their association with severity symptoms. Methods Participants use disorder (N = 38: age-range:21–63, 87% male, 45% white) underwent 11-day buprenorphine taper, in which they randomly assigned (20...
A positive relationship between the development of skill and efficient cerebral–cortical dynamics has been well established. However, it is unknown whether competitive success marked by cortical efficiency failure inefficiency. In accord, electroencephalographic (EEG) dat
Systemic inflammation is commonly observed in idiopathic chronic pain conditions, including temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Trait positive affect (PA) associated with lower healthy controls, but those effects may be threatened by poor sleep. The associations between PA proinflammatory cytokine activity and potential moderation sleep are not known. We thus investigated the association circulating interleukin-6 (IL-6) of that a sample women TMD difficulties.Participants (n = 110)...
Positive emotions are a promising target for intervention in chronic pain, but mixed findings across trials to date suggest that existing interventions may not be optimized efficiently engage the target. The aim of current mechanistic randomized controlled trial was test effects single skill positive emotion-enhancing called Savoring Meditation on pain-related neural and behavioral targets patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Participants included 44 physician-confirmed diagnosis RA...
We investigated the impact of a 1.5 hr workshop based on mindfulness-based compassion practices (MBCP) for 6 doctoral student therapists, followed by these therapists engaging in pre-session preparation each their clients one 3 randomly assigned conditions (MBCP, self-supervision, preparation-as-usual) over 1-month period. State mindfulness and meditation self-efficacy increased following workshop. Therapist ratings session effectiveness were higher relative to preparation-as-usual, although...
The health benefits of meditation are well-documented, yet people struggle to practice regularly. Domain-specific self-efficacy is an important modifiable driver behavior change that poorly understood in the context. As such, present study developed Self-Efficacy for Regular Meditation Practice Scale (SERMS) assessing confidence one’s capacity meditate frequently and a way favorably impacts well-being, including securing psychological, social, structural supports needed ongoing practice....
Pain typically prompts individuals to seek relief. This study aimed develop and psychometrically validate the Relief Motivation Scales, applying revised "reinforcement sensitivity theory" measure neuropsychological systems underlying motivation for pain We hypothesized a 6-factor structure based on previous work, including one Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) factor, Fight-Flight-Freeze 4 Activation (BAS) factors.
Abstract Expectancies for pain and relief are central to experimental models of placebo analgesia nocebo hyperalgesia a promising target clinical intervention in patients with chronic pain. Affective states may play an important role modulating the degree which expectancies influence pain, broadening opportunities targets. However, findings date have been mixed mostly limited laboratory designs. Few studies examined interplay naturally occurring affective states, expectancies, experiences...
Abstract Formal training in mindfulness-based practices promotes reduced experimental and clinical pain, which may be driven by emotional pain reactivity undergirded alterations the default mode network (DMN), implicated mind-wandering self-referential processing. Recent results published this journal suggest that mindfulness, defined here as day-to-day tendency to maintain a non-reactive mental state absence of training, associates with lower reactivity, greater heat-pain thresholds,...
