Pain: Moving from Symptom Control toward Mechanism-Specific Pharmacologic Management
1.1K
TL;DR: The neurobiological mechanisms responsible for these different pains are beginning to be defined, providing insight into how distinct types of pain are generated by diverse etiologic factors, and in which patients can now realistically expect to move from an empirical therapeutic approach to one that is targeted specifically at the particular mechanisms of the type of pain experienced by an individual patient.

Abstract: Several distinct types of pain exist: nociceptive, inflammatory, neuropathic, and functional. By defining the mechanisms responsible for each type of pain, neurophysiologic research is providing in...

A Biopsychosocial Model for Pelvic Girdle Pain: A Contemporary Evidence-Based Perspective
Darren Beales,Peter O'Sullivan +1 more
TL;DR: Thorough assessment based on this biopsychosocial model allows for diagnosis and classification of subjects with PGP disorders, and will inform a cognitive-functional approach to management that specifically targets the underlying mechanisms driving the disorder.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare human perception to a hologram and show that human perception can be explained by a dynamic interaction between mind and brain and most likely through the mechanics of quantum physics.

Neuronal plasticity: increasing the gain in pain.
TL;DR: Here, a conceptual framework for the contribution of plasticity in primary sensory and dorsal horn neurons to the pathogenesis of pain is developed, identifying distinct forms of Plasticity, which are term activation, modulation, and modification, that by increasing gain, elicit pain hypersensitivity.

Cyclooxygenases 1 and 2
TL;DR: The discovery ofCOX-2 has made possible the design of drugs that reduce inflammation without removing the protective PGs in the stomach and kidney made by COX-1, which may not only be anti-inflammatory but may also be active in colon cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

Molecular mechanisms of nociception
David Julius,Allan I. Basbaum +1 more
TL;DR: Efforts to determine how primary sensory neurons detect pain-producing stimuli of a thermal, mechanical or chemical nature have revealed new signalling mechanisms and brought us closer to understanding the molecular events that facilitate transitions from acute to persistent pain.

Pain affect encoded in human anterior cingulate but not somatosensory cortex.
TL;DR: These findings provide direct experimental evidence in humans linking frontal-lobe limbic activity with pain affect, as originally suggested by early clinical lesion studies.
