A traditional single-target analgesic, though it may be highly selective and potent, may not be sufficient to mitigate pain. An alternative strategy for alleviation of pain is to seek simultaneous modulation at multiple nodes in the network of pain-s...
Pain is a multidimensional experience mediated by distributed neural networks in the brain. To study this phenomenon, EEGs were collected from 20 subjects with chronic lumbar radiculopathy, 20 age and gender matched healthy subjects, and 17 subjects ...
Tinnitus and pain share similarities in their anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical picture and treatments. Based on what is known in the pain field, a heuristic model can be proposed for the pathophysiolgy of tinnitus. This heuristic pathophysiological...
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder involving dysfunctional brain-gut interactions characterized by chronic recurrent abdominal pain, altered bowel habits, and negative emotion. Previous studies have linked the habenula to the pathophysiolog...
OBJECTIVES: Socially-assistive robots (SAR) have been used to reduce pain and distress in children in medical settings. Patients who perceive empathic treatment have increased satisfaction and improved outcomes. We sought to determine if an empathic ...
BACKGROUND: To investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on spasticity and pain in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). . Four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Medline, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) we...

OBJECTIVE: The five-repetition sit-to-stand (5R-STS) test was designed to capture objective functional impairment and thus provided an adjunctive dimension in patient assessment. The clinical interpretability and confounders of the 5R-STS remain poor...
BACKGROUND: Persistent pain in breast cancer survivors is common. Psychological and sleep-related factors modulate perception, interpretation and coping with pain and may contribute to the clinical phenotype. The present analysis pursued the hypothes...

BACKGROUND: Chiari-like malformation (CM) is a complex malformation of the skull and cranial cervical vertebrae that potentially results in pain and secondary syringomyelia (SM). Chiari-like malformation-associated pain (CM-P) can be challenging to d...
