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. ...
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 ...
Repetitive afferent electrical stimulation of the lower-limb : effect on corticomotor excitability and implications for rehabilitation
(2013)
Despite the extensive work published on the effects of electrical stimulation on corticomotor excitability, very few studies have focused on lower limb muscles. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of ...
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 ...
Efficacy of transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) in women with provoked vestibulodynia: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(2016)
Abstract: Background: Provoked vestibulodynia is the most common form of vulvodynia. Despite its high prevalence and deleterious sexual, conjugal, and psychological repercussions, effective evidence-based interventions for ...
Does age affect the relationship between pain and disability? : a descriptive study in individuals suffering from chronic low back pain
(2016)
Abstract : Background: Previous studies have revealed a weak to moderate relationship between pain and disability in individuals suffering from low back pain (LBP). However, to our knowledge, no studies have evaluated if ...
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 ...
Interactions between pain and the motor cortex : insights from research on phantom limb pain and complex regional pain syndrome
(2011)
Abstract : Purpose: Pain is a significantly disabling problem that often interacts with other deficits during
the rehabilitation process. The aim of this paper is to review evidence on interactions between
pain and the ...
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. ...
Evidence of descending inhibition deficits in atypical but not classical trigeminal neuralgia
(2009)
Abstract : Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a rare neuropathic facial pain disorder. Two forms of TN, classical TN (CTN) and atypical TN (ATN), are reported and probably have different aetiologies. The aim of the present study ...
