Three-point mesh fixation in robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (R-TAPP) repair of 208 inguinal hernias: preliminary results of a single-center consecutive series.

Langenbeck's archives of surgery
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of our mesh fixation technique in robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (R-TAPP). The primary outcome was the recurrence rate. Secondary outcomes were postoperativ...

Technical Feasibility of Supervision of Stretching Exercises by a Humanoid Robot Coach for Chronic Low Back Pain: The R-COOL Randomized Trial.

BioMed research international
Adherence to exercise programs for chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major issue. The R-COOL feasibility study evaluated humanoid robot supervision of exercise for CLBP. Aims are as follows: (1) compare stretching sessions between the robot and a phy...

Image Features of Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Evaluating Poor Emotion and Sleep Quality in Patients with Chronic Pain under Artificial Intelligence Algorithm.

Contrast media & molecular imaging
The balanced iterative reducing and clustering using hierarchies (BIRCH) method was adopted to optimize the results of the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI) to analyze the changes in the brain function of patients with chr...

Identifying resting state differences salient for resilience to chronic pain based on machine learning multivariate pattern analysis.

Psychophysiology
Studies have documented behavior differences between more versus less resilient adults with chronic pain (CP), but the presence and nature of underlying neurophysiological differences have received scant attention. In this study, we attempted to iden...

Predicting pain among female survivors of recent interpersonal violence: A proof-of-concept machine-learning approach.

PloS one
Interpersonal violence (IPV) is highly prevalent in the United States and is a major public health problem. The emergence and/or worsening of chronic pain are known sequelae of IPV; however, not all those who experience IPV develop chronic pain. To m...

Muscle network topology analysis for the classification of chronic neck pain based on EMG biomarkers extracted during walking.

PloS one
Neuromuscular impairments are frequently observed in patients with chronic neck pain (CNP). This study uniquely investigates whether changes in neck muscle synergies detected during gait are sensitive enough to differentiate between people with and w...

Investigating Pain-Related Avoidance Behavior using a Robotic Arm-Reaching Paradigm.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Avoidance behavior is a key contributor to the transition from acute pain to chronic pain disability. Yet, there has been a lack of ecologically valid paradigms to experimentally investigate pain-related avoidance. To fill this gap, we developed a pa...
