Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and placebo analgesia: is the effect the same for young and older individuals?
(2018)
Abstract: Purpose: Placebo analgesia refers to a perceived reduction in pain intensity following the administration of a simulated or otherwise medically ineffective treatment. Previous studies have shown that many factors ...
The effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation as an add-on modality to graded motor imagery for treatment of complex regional pain syndrome: A randomized proof of concept study
(2018)
BACKGROUND: The efficacy of graded motor imagery (GMI) for the management of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is supported by evidence, but its treatment effect remains generally modest. Transcranial direct current ...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation measures in the elderly: reliability, smallest detectable change and the potential influence of lifestyle habits
(2018)
Background: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique that can be used to evaluate cortical function and corticospinal pathway in normal and pathological aging. Yet, the metrologic properties of ...
L'hypnose : une nouvelle avenue à considérer pour les professionnels de la réadaptation
(2017)
"La douleur est un phénomène présent pour un grand nombre de personnes vues en ergothérapie (Hesselstrand, Samuelsson et Liedberg, 2015). Malgré les outils présentement à notre disposition, la gestion de la douleur chronique ...
Physiologie et physiopathologie des mécanismes endogènes de contrôle de la douleur
(Université de Sherbrooke, 2010)
Tout le long de son trajet vers les centres supérieurs, le message nociceptif est soumis à une série de modulations pouvant augmenter ou diminuer la réponse nociceptive. Les mécanismes permettant de diminuer la réponse ...
Efficacy of transcranial direct-current stimulation in women with provoked vestibulodynia
(2017)
Abstract: Background: Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is a highly prevalent condition characterized by acute recurrent pain located at the vaginal entrance in response to pressure application or attempt of vaginal penetration. ...
Altered autonomic nervous system reactivity to pain in trigeminal neuralgia
(2015)
BACKGROUND: In the last two decades, there has been increasing evidence to suggest that trigeminal neuralgia (TN) may be linked to a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The aim of the present study was to ...
Effect of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on experimental pain : a double-blind, randomized study in healthy young adults
(2016)
Abstract : Past studies have suggested that pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy can decrease pain. To date, however, it remains difficult to determine if the analgesic effect observed in patients are attributable ...
Simple things matter! : how reassurance and pain management strategies can improve outcomes in physiotherapy : a case report
(2013)
Abstract : Psychological barriers to rehabilitation are generally seen as preexisting patient traits that clinicians are asked to evaluate and modify. In the present case report, we provide evidence that these barriers can ...
Comparison of transcranial magnetic stimulation measures obtained at rest and under active conditions and their reliability
(2012)
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies investigating motor cortex reorganization in clinical populations use a variety of measurements, with some performed at rest and others with the muscle slightly contracted. ...
