To examine whether there are gender differences in event-related potential (ERP) responses to painful stimulation after administration of placebo medication; and investigate medication reduces anticipatory stress if this reduction can explain the analgesic response. Several experimental clinical studies have shown that males report lower pain compared with females. There are, however, few reports analgesia.All subjects (n = 33; 17 women) participated both a natural history condition. ERPs...
ABSTRACT Little is known about the overall trends in postoperative opioid use a Nordic setting. We investigated Norway between 2011 and 2018. linked Norwegian Prescription Database, Patient Registry, Cancer Registry of Cause Death Registry. Postoperative was defined as first dispensing per year within 14 days NOMESCO Classification Surgical Procedure code. excluded patients with cancer or maintenance therapy. calculated period prevalence (Norwegian population ≥ 15 years denominator),...
This study aimed to investigate sex differences in fear of pain (FOP) measured by the Fear Pain Questionnaire III (FPQ-III) a nonclinical sample. The FPQ-III is self-report inventory measuring FOP, with 30 items, divided into three subscales: Severe, Minor and Medical Pain.A total 185 subjects participated (49.7% females) this study. Sex on overall subscales, at item level were examined. One-way analysis variance tested association between FOP subscales. Ordinal regression enabled item-level...
The use of the internet for health purposes is increasing, as number sites and online communities aimed at helping people to stop smoking. Some effects may be mediated through a sense community. By using computer-program Linguistic Inquiry Word Count with Norwegian dictionary, we investigated whether there was development community in forum related smoking cessation intervention, by examining self-referencing vs. collective referencing words. Data from 4-year period, including total 5242 web...
Abstract: The present study describes a novel approach to the identification of motivational processes in text data extracted from an Internet support group (ISG) for smoking cessation. Based on previous findings that “prevention” focus might be more relevant maintaining behavior change, it was hypothesized 1) language use (ie, emotional words) signaling “promotion” would dominant initiating stages ISG, and 2) proportion words prevention increase over time. were collected ISG site, spanning...

Background Contextual factors, such as participant/experimenter sex may moderate the placebo effects. We tested whether participant and experimenter modulated effects on experimentally induced pain associated stress. Objective To investigate if (i) (ii) influence analgesia subjective physiological stress in two experiments employing a within-subjects mixed design, respectively. Placebo were investigated reports, stress, blood pressure. Methods Participants received painful stimulations...
There is little knowledge of what factors are needed for successful chronic pain management. We aim to identify psychosocial and treatment predictors clinical recovery improved quality life (QOL) at 12-month follow-up across three groups, based on the International Classification Diseases-11: neuropathic pain, secondary non-neuropathic primary pain. Furthermore, we investigate baseline differences diagnostic groups.
Introduction Deep rTMS is an increasingly popular noninvasive brain stimulation technique which has shown promise for treating cognitive impairments. However, few studies have investigated the effects it could exert in patients with chronic peripheral neuropathic pain. Therefore, we aimed to assess of deep on executive functioning pain, a randomized, double-blind crossover trial. Methods In total, 17 were randomly assigned receive both active and sham H-coil targeting primary motor cortex....
Abstract Background The utilization patterns of opioid analgesics and the proportion long-term use after surgery in Norway is largely unknown. Methods This study aimed to estimate one-year prescription among all Norwegian postoperative users. Complete data from central health registries (NPR, NorPD, Statistics Norway, CoDR) were linked via personal identification number unique citizens. period was January 1st 2010 until December 31st 2019. Long-term defined as at least two dispensings within...
ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the analgesic effects of H-coil repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) primarily targeting hand area primary motor cortex (M1) in patients with peripheral neuropathic pain. Given that has a wider reach than conventional coils, there is possibility also may stimulate prefrontal areas. Thus, we examine whether rTMS an M1 target could produce on psychologic outcomes.Materials and MethodsIn total, 17 were randomly assigned receive active or...
