A Stratified Analysis of Body Perception, Interoception and Somatosensory Brain Processing in Healthy Adults
brain somatosensory processing. Research on body perception has focused on specific dimensions rather than in a multidimensional way. Body perception levels were assessed in 120 adults through two self-reported questionnaires. Some domains of self-reported body perception (body awareness, public consciousness, body competence) were notably affected by age and sex. Subsequently, sensitivity to exteroceptive and interoceptive stimuli was assessed i…
Proprioception, Emotion and Social Responsiveness in Children with Developmental Disorders
Proprioception has long been linked with emotional dysregulation in neurotypical adults. Neuropediatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and cerebral palsy (CP) are distinct entities and yet both present with deficits and challenges in sensory processing and the regulation of emotions. This study aimed to explore the relationship between proprioception and emotional-social performance in children and to compare proprioception and …
Factors Affecting the Use of Pain-Coping Strategies in Individuals with Cerebral Palsy and Individuals with Typical Development
Many individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) suffer from pain and must develop pain-coping strategies, although the factors determining them are unknown. This observational study aims at exploring the association between different pain-coping strategies and factors such as age, sex, pain, health status, sleep or motor and cognitive function in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and typically developing peers (TD). Main caregivers of 94 individuals…
Pain and Communication in Children with Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is an impacting chronic condition. Concomitant comorbidities such as pain and speech inability may further affect parents' perception of the pathology impact in the family quality of life and the provided care. The objective of this cross-sectional descriptive correlational study was to compare parental reports on family impact and healthcare satisfaction in children with CP with and without chronic pain and with and without s…
A Comparison of the Effect of Two Types of Whole Body Vibration Platforms on Fibromyalgia. A Randomized Controlled Trial
Whole body vibration has been proven to improve the health status of patients with fibromyalgia, providing an activation of the neuromuscular spindles, which are responsible for muscle contraction. The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two types of whole body vibrating platforms (vertical and rotational) during a 12-week training program. Sixty fibromyalgia patients (90% were women) were randomly assigned to one of the following…
Effect of Social Support in Pain Sensitivity in Children with Cerebral Palsy and Typically Developing Children
The present study shows how children with CP are highly affected by social and contextual influences for regulating pain sensitivity. Solicitous parental support may enhance pain perception in children with CP. Further research on the topic is warranted in order to attain well-founded conclusions for clinical practice
Alterations in Neural Responses and Pain Perception in Older Adults During Distraction
OBJECTIVE: Although it is acknowledged that pain may be modulated by cognitive factors, little is known about the effect of aging on these control processes. The present study investigated electroencephalographical correlates of pain processing and its cognitive modulation in healthy older individuals. METHODS: For this purpose, the impact of distraction on pain was evaluated in 21 young (9 men; 20.71 [2.30]) and 20 older (10 men; 66.80 [4.14]) a…
Affective Modulation of Brain and Autonomic Responses in Patients With Fibromyalgia
OBJECTIVES: Emotional dysregulation and abnormal processing of affective information are thought to play a significant role for the maintenance of pain in fibromyalgia. The motivational priming hypothesis states that negative emotions could increase pain via activation of the aversive system, thus leading to an affective modulation of defensive reflexes. Nevertheless, little is known about peripheral and central correlates of affective reflex mod…
Cerebral Blood Flow Dynamics During Pain Processing in Patients With Fibromyalgia Syndrome
Objectives Increased cerebral blood flow during processing of acute pain has repeatedly been observed in fibromyalgia syndrome. The study investigated the time dynamics of the pain-related hemodynamic response in fibromyalgia using transcranial Doppler sonography. Methods In 25 women with fibromyalgia and 25 healthy participants, blood flow velocities in the anterior and middle cerebral arteries of both hemispheres were recorded, while heat stimu…
Disrupted Functional Connectivity of the Pain Network in Fibromyalgia
Objective To investigate the impact of chronic pain on brain dynamics at rest. Methods Functional connectivity was examined in patients with fibromyalgia (FM) (n = 9) and healthy controls (n = 11) by calculating partial correlations between low-frequency blood oxygen level–dependent fluctuations extracted from 15 brain regions. Results Patients with FM had more positive and negative correlations within the pain network than healthy controls. Pati…
The emotional impact of European tobacco-warning images
Findings suggest that the capability of the European tobacco-warning images to prompt negative attitudes to reduce tobacco consumption might not extend to the general population but would be limited to specific target groups
Abnormal Affective Modulation of Somatosensory Brain Processing Among Patients With Fibromyalgia
Objective: It is well established that subjective pain perception can be modulated by negative mood states and that patients with chronic pain are characterized by high levels of depression and anxiety. Nevertheless, very little is known about the effects of negative mood induction on brain processing of somatosensory information in fibromyalgia. The objective of the present study was to examine the influence of two emotional states (pleasant and…
