Journal ArticleDOI
Human brain mechanisms of pain perception and regulation in health and disease.
TL;DR: A systematic review of the literature regarding how activity in diverse brain regions creates and modulates the experience of acute and chronic pain states, emphasizing the contribution of various imaging techniques to emerging concepts is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive and emotional control of pain and its disruption in chronic pain
TL;DR: The accumulating evidence that chronic pain itself alters brain circuitry, including that involved in endogenous pain control, is examined, suggesting that controlling pain becomes increasingly difficult as pain becomes chronic.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe current approaches to the diagnosis and assessment of neuropathic pain and discuss the results of recent research on its pathophysiologic mechanisms, and provide specific recommendations for use of these medications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive modulation of pain: how do attention and emotion influence pain processing?
TL;DR: This paper compares the modulatory influences of two principal cognitive variables, attention and emotion, on pain perception and addresses possible neural mechanisms underlying each of these influences.
