Journal ArticleDOI
Release of GABA and activation of GABAA in the spinal cord mediates the effects of TENS in rats
TL;DR: It is shown that high frequency TENS increases extracellular GABA concentrations in the spinal cord in animals with and without joint inflammation, and the reduction in primary hyperalgesia by both high and low frequency Tens is prevented by spinal blockade of GABA(A) receptors with bicuculline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evoked pain analgesia in chronic pelvic pain patients using respiratory-gated auricular vagal afferent nerve stimulation.
Vitaly Napadow,Robert R. Edwards,Christine M. Cahalan,George Mensing,Seth Greenbaum,Assia Valovska,Ang Li,Jieun Kim,Yumi Maeda,Kyungmo Park,Ajay D. Wasan +10 more
TL;DR: RAVANS produced promising antinociceptive effects for quantitative sensory testing (QST) outcomes reflective of the noted hyperalgesia and central sensitization in this patient population.
Journal ArticleDOI
The missing link: enhanced functional connectivity between amygdala and visceroceptive cortex in migraine.
Nouchine Hadjikhani,Nouchine Hadjikhani,Noreen Ward,Jasmine Boshyan,Vitaly Napadow,Vitaly Napadow,Yumi Maeda,Andrea Truini,Francesca Caramia,Emanuele Tinelli,Caterina Mainero +10 more
TL;DR: The observed increased connectivity within the limbic/viscerosensory network, present only in migraineurs, adds to the evidence of a neurolimbic pain network dysfunction and may reflect repetitive episodes of CSD leading to the development of migraine pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing acupuncture stimuli using brain imaging with fMRI — A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature
Wenjing Huang,Wenjing Huang,Daniel Pach,Vitaly Napadow,Vitaly Napadow,Kyung-Mo Park,Xiangyu Long,Jane Neumann,Jane Neumann,Yumi Maeda,Yumi Maeda,Till Nierhaus,Till Nierhaus,Fanrong Liang,Claudia M. Witt,Claudia M. Witt,Johannes Fleckenstein +16 more
TL;DR: Brain response to acupuncture stimuli encompasses a broad network of regions consistent with not just somatosensory, but also affective and cognitive processing, and the evidence based on meta-analyses confirmed some of these results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rewiring the primary somatosensory cortex in carpal tunnel syndrome with acupuncture
Yumi Maeda,Yumi Maeda,Hyungjun Kim,Norman W. Kettner,Jieun Kim,Stephen Cina,Cristina Malatesta,Jessica Gerber,Claire McManus,Rebecca Ong-Sutherland,Pia Mezzacappa,Alexandra Libby,Ishtiaq Mawla,Leslie R. Morse,Ted J. Kaptchuk,Joseph Audette,Vitaly Napadow,Vitaly Napadow +17 more
TL;DR: Improvement in median nerve latency was associated with reduction of fractional anisotropy near contralesional hand area following verum, but not sham, acupuncture and improvements in primary somatosensory cortex somatotopy can predict long-term clinical outcomes for carpal tunnel syndrome.
