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 ...
Reduced analgesic effect of acupuncture-like TENS but not conventional TENS in opioid treated patients
(2011)
Abstract : Evidence from recent animal studies indicates that the analgesic effect of low frequency TENS is reduced in opioid tolerant animals. The aim of the present study was to compare the analgesic effect of conventional ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Low-Back Pain and Knee Position–Related Differences on Postural Control Measures During a One-Legged Stance in Athletes
(2020)
Abstract : Context: Chronic low-back pain (CLBP) may be associated with changes in postural balance in athletes as poor postural control during sports practice. Objective: To compare the postural control of athletes with ...

(2020)
Purpose: Older adults are referred for outpatient physical therapy to improve their functional capacities. The goal of the present study was to determine if pain had an influence on functional outcomes in older adults who ...
