The induction of pain: an integrative review

Millan Mark
- 01 Jan 1999 - 
TL;DR: A global account of mechanisms involved in the induction of pain is provided, including neuronal pathways for the transmission of nociceptive information from peripheral nerve terminals to the dorsal horn, and therefrom to higher centres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic basis for individual variations in pain perception and the development of a chronic pain condition

Luda Diatchenko, +12 more
- 01 Jan 2005 - 
TL;DR: Three genetic variants of the gene encoding catecholamine-O-methyltransferase determine COMT activity in humans that inversely correlates with pain sensitivity and the risk of developing TMD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute and Chronic Craniofacial Pain: Brainstem Mechanisms of Nociceptive Transmission and Neuroplasticity, and Their Clinical Correlates

Barry J. Sessle
- 01 Jan 2000 - 
TL;DR: The recent findings provide new insights into craniofacial pain behavior and are particularly relevant to many approaches currently in use for the management of pain and to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures aimed at manipulating peripheral inputs and central processes underlying nociceptive transmission and its control within the VBSNC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trunk muscle activation in low-back pain patients, an analysis of the literature

Jaap H. van Dieën, +2 more
- 01 Aug 2003 - 
TL;DR: It is proposed that motor control changes in patients are functional in that they enhance spinal stability and suggest an alternative model to explain the alterations of trunk muscle recruitment due to low-back pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-functional dielectric elastomer artificial muscles for soft and smart machines

Iain A. Anderson, +4 more
- 28 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: The octopus arm is an example of a soft actuator with a virtually infinite number of degrees of freedom (DOF) as discussed by the authors, which utilizes neural ganglia to process sensory data at the local “arm” level and perform complex tasks.

Frederick Wolfe, +23 more
- 01 Feb 1990 - 
TL;DR: Criteria for the classification of fibromyalgia are widespread pain in combination with 2) tenderness at 11 or more of the 18 specific tender point sites, and no exclusions are made for the presence of concomitant radiographic or laboratory abnormalities.

Leukotrienes: mediators of immediate hypersensitivity reactions and inflammation

Bengt Samuelsson
- 06 May 1983 - 
TL;DR: Leukotrienes C4, D4, and E4, which are released from the lung tissue of asthmatic subjects exposed to specific allergens, seem to play a pathophysiological role in immediate hypersensitivity reactions.

John Garthwaite
- 01 Feb 1991 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that NO is produced enzymatically in postsynaptic structures in response to activation of excitatory amino acid receptors and diffuses out to act on neighbouring cellular elements, probably presynaptic nerve endings and astrocyte processes.
