Book ChapterDOI
Clinical approach to visceral sensation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define the term "coenaesthesiopathia" to describe the feeling of fullness, accompanied by a desire to micturate, but not necessarily painful.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental pain in man
TL;DR: In this review experimentally induced pain will be dealt with in two sections: (a) cutaneous pain; (b) deep pain (somatic and visceral).
Journal ArticleDOI
Reflex sympathetic dystrophies and algodystrophies: historical and pathogenic considerations
Paolo Procacci,Marco Maresca +1 more
TL;DR: The historical development of the concepts of ‘sympathy’ of organs and of the sympathetic nervous system are reviewed, considering the importance of peripheral damage to nerves, lateralisation of pain, ‘mirror phenomena,’ and the relationship between peripheral and central mechanisms of pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cutaneous pain threshold changes after sympathetic block in reflex dystrophies.
TL;DR: The analysis of oscillations showed that the afferent discharge of a limb controls the contralateral sympathetic output through central mechanisms, and that the cutaneous pain threshold may be exerted through a negative feedback loop.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of non-painful transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on cutaneous pain threshold and muscular reflexes in normal men and in subjects with chronic pain
TL;DR: An important difference between healthy and pathological subjects is not the quality but the quantity of the changes induced by TENS, in the sense that the levels of inhibition and facilitation of the reflexes are more evident in patients with pain.
