Hospitalization due to acute exacerbation of chronic pain: An intervention study in a university hospital Tập 17 - Trang 345-349 - 2017
Daniel W. Wheeler, Sara Kinna, Andrew Bell, Peter J. Featherstone, David J. Sapsford, Sam P. Bass
Abstract Background and aims Hospitalization as a result of acute exacerbation
of complex chronic pain is a largely hidden problem, as patients are often
admitted to hospital under a variety of specialities, and there is frequently no
overarching inpatient chronic pain service dedicated to their management. Our
institution had established an inpatient acute pain service overseen by pain
physicians... hiện toàn bộ
Difficult diagnosis of facial pain: A case report and mini-review Tập 1 - Trang 179-183 - 2010

Abstract This case report elucidates pitfalls of clinical and radiologic
investigations of neuropathic pain due to trigeminal pathology, and utility of
neurophysiologic examination when diagnosing facial pain. Our patient was a
63-year-old woman who developed acute, severe facial pain, first located behind
the left eye. Neuralgic exacerbations, paresthesia within lower face on the left
and restric... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract Background and aim “Gain-of-function” mutations in voltage-gated sodium
channel NaV1.7 have been linked to erythromelalgia (EM), characterized by
painful hot and red hands and feet. We investigated the proportion of patients
with EM that carry a mutation in NaV1.7 or in other pain-related genes and
studied possible clinical differences. Methods In this study, 48 patients with
EM were scre... hiện toàn bộ
The buffering role of positive affect on the association between pain intensity and pain related outcomes Tập 14 - Trang 91-97 - 2017
Ivan S.K. Thong, Gabriel Tan, Mark P. Jensen
Abstract Objectives Chronic pain is a significant problem worldwide and is
associated with significant elevations in negative affect, depressive symptoms,
sleep problems, and physical dysfunction. Positive affect could potentially
buffer the impact of pain on patient functioning. If it does, then positive
affect could be directly targeted in treatment to benefit individuals with
chronic pain. The ... hiện toàn bộ
Hyperalgesia and allodynia to superficial and deep-tissue mechanical stimulation within and outside of the UVB irradiated area in human skin Tập 5 - Trang 258-267 - 2014

AbstractBackground and aimsThe ultraviolet-B (UVB) inflammatory model is a
well-established model of inflammatory pain. This study investigated whether
UVB-induced cutaneous inflammation would enhance pain responses from the
underlying deep somatic areas.MethodsSkin inflammation was induced, in 24
healthy volunteers, by UVB irradiation (three times of the individual minimal
erythema UVB dose) in s... hiện toàn bộ
Are preoperative experimental pain assessments correlated with clinical pain outcomes after surgery? A systematic review Tập 15 - Trang 44-52 - 2017
Anders Sangesland, Carl Støren, Henrik B. Vaegter
AbstractBackgroundPain after surgery is not uncommon with 30% of patients
reporting moderate to severe postoperative pain. Early identification of
patients prone to postoperative pain may be a step forward towards
individualized pain medicine providing a basis for improved clinical management
through treatment strategies targeting relevant pain mechanisms in each patient.
