Journal ArticleDOI
Phasic pupil dilation response to noxious stimulation in normal volunteers: relationship to brain evoked potentials and pain report.
C. Richard Chapman,C. Richard Chapman,Shunichi Oka,David H. Bradshaw,Robert Jacobson,Gary W. Donaldson,Gary W. Donaldson +6 more
TL;DR: Multivariate mixed-effects analyses revealed that the PDR increased significantly in peak amplitude as stimulus intensity increased, and EP peaks at 150 and 250 ms differed significantly in both amplitude and latency across stimulus intensity, and PR increased significantly with increasing stimulus intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictability of painful stimulation modulates subjective and physiological responses.
Shunichi Oka,C. Richard Chapman,Barkhwa Kim,Osamu Shimizu,Noboru Noma,Osamu Takeichi,Yoshiki Imamura,Yoshiyuki Oi +7 more
TL;DR: Findings support the hypothesis that lower stimulus predictability is associated with higher reported pain and fear as well as greater physiological arousal when the occurrence of a painful event is unpredictable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pupil dilation response to noxious stimulation: effect of varying nitrous oxide concentration.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the pain-related pupil dilation response (PDR) is a complex brain-mediated response rather than a simple sympathetic reflex is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of Porphyromonas gingivalis infection on cytokine levels in type 2 diabetic mice.
TL;DR: Observations suggest that tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6 and adiponectin are an integral part of the link between diabetes mellitus and Porphyromonas gingivalis infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Headache attributed to temporomandibular disorders and masticatory myofascial pain
Kazuhiko Hara,Takahiro Shinozaki,Akiko Okada-Ogawa,Yumiko Matsukawa,Ko Dezawa,Yuka Nakaya,Jui-Yen Chen,Noboru Noma,Shunichi Oka,Koichi Iwata,Yoshiki Imamura +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that sensitization in the central and peripheral nervous systems is responsible for HATMD, and headache improved during TMD treatment, and the improvement was temporally related to amelioration of TMD symptoms.
