Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of dysfunctional pain inhibition in Fibromyalgia reflected in rACC during provoked pain
Karin B. Jensen,Eva Kosek,Frank Petzke,Serena Carville,Peter Fransson,Hanke Marcus,Steven Williams,Ernest Choy,Thorsten Giesecke,Yves Mainguy,Richard H. Gracely,Martin Ingvar +11 more
TL;DR: The attenuated response to pain in this brain region is the first demonstration of a specific brain region where the impairment of pain inhibition in FMS patients is expressed, validating previous reports of dysfunctional endogenous pain inhibition and advancing the understanding of the central pathophysiologic mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This paper forms a first step towards developing evidence-based and ethical recommendations about the implications of placebo and nocebo research for medical practice, based on the current state of evidence and the consensus of experts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonconscious activation of placebo and nocebo pain responses
Karin B. Jensen,Karin B. Jensen,Karin B. Jensen,Ted J. Kaptchuk,Irving Kirsch,Irving Kirsch,Jacqueline Raicek,Kara M. Lindstrom,Chantal Berna,Chantal Berna,Randy L. Gollub,Randy L. Gollub,Randy L. Gollub,Martin Ingvar,Jian Kong,Jian Kong,Jian Kong +16 more
TL;DR: Significant placebo and nocebo effects were found in both experiment 1 (using clearly visible stimuli) and experiment 2 (using nonconscious stimuli), indicating that the mechanisms responsible for placebo andNocebo Effects can operate without conscious awareness of the triggering cues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acceptance and commitment therapy for fibromyalgia: A randomized controlled trial
Rikard K. Wicksell,Mike K. Kemani,Mike K. Kemani,Karin B. Jensen,Eva Kosek,Diana Kadetoff,Kimmo Sorjonen,Martin Ingvar,Gunnar L. Olsson,Gunnar L. Olsson +9 more
TL;DR: No study has yet explored the utility of ACT in FM, but within the continuous development of CBT, the empirical support for acceptance and commitment therapy has increased rapidly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patients With Fibromyalgia Display Less Functional Connectivity In The Brain's Pain Inhibitory Network
Karin B. Jensen,Rita Loitoile,Eva Kosek,Frank Petzke,Serena Carville,Peter Fransson,Hanke Marcus,Steven Williams,Ernest Choy,Yves Mainguy,Olivier Vitton,Richard H. Gracely,Randy L. Gollub,Martin Ingvar,Jian Kong +14 more
TL;DR: Brain-imaging evidence is provided on how brain regions involved in homeostatic control of pain are less connected in FM patients and it is possible that the dysfunction of the descending pain modulatory network plays an important role in maintenance of FM pain.
