Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread pain in fibromyalgia is related to a deficit of endogenous pain inhibition
TL;DR: A deficit of endogenous pain inhibitory systems in fibromyalgia but not in chronic low back pain is supported, and the treatments proposed to fibromyalgic patients should aim at stimulating the activity of those endogenous systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recommendations on terminology and practice of psychophysical DNIC testing.

TL;DR: This poster presents a meta-modelling procedure called “spot-spot localization analysis” (SLA) which allows for direct measurement of the effects of anesthetics on the tremor and tremor-like symptoms in patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recommendations on practice of conditioned pain modulation (CPM) testing.
David Yarnitsky,Didier Bouhassira,Asbjørn Mohr Drewes,Roger B. Fillingim,Michal Granot,Per Hansson,Per Hansson,Ruth Landau,Serge Marchand,Dagfinn Matre,Kristian Bernhard Nilsen,Kristian Bernhard Nilsen,Kristian Bernhard Nilsen,Audun Stubhaug,Audun Stubhaug,Rolf-Detlef Treede,Oliver H.G. Wilder-Smith +16 more
TL;DR: The recommendations of interested researchers consensus meeting regarding the practice of CPM are summarized and report of its results are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Descending analgesia – When the spine echoes what the brain expects
TL;DR: It is found that contrary to expectations of analgesia, expectations of hyperalgesia completely blocked the analgesic effects of descending inhibition on spinal nociceptive reflexes, providing direct evidence that the modulation of pain by expectations is mediated by endogenous pain modulatory systems affecting nocICEptive signal processing at the earliest stage of the central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is TENS purely a placebo effect? A controlled study on chronic low back pain *
Serge Marchand,Jacques Charest,Jinxue Li,Jean-René Chenard,Benoit Lavignolle,Louis Laurencelle +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that TENS should be used as a short‐term analgesic procedure in a multidisciplinary program for low back pain rather than as an exclusive or long‐term treatment.
