Objective Exercise increases pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) in exercising and
nonexercising muscles, known as exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH). No studies have …

Background Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is defined biomechanically, but is characterized by
features that fit poorly within nociceptive pain. Mechanisms associated with central …

As CPM methodology is optimized, studies are revealing factors that can modulate
descending pain inhibitory pathways. Understanding underlying mechanisms of CPM will …

Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is a potentially useful biomarker in pain populations;
however, a statistically robust interpretation of change scores is required. Currently …

Objectives The prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) is rising, and pain is the hallmark symptom
of OA. Pain in OA is complicated and can be influenced by multiple joint-related factors and …

Abnormal endogenous pain modulation was suggested as a potential mechanism for
chronic pain, ie, increased pain facilitation and/or impaired pain inhibition underlying …

Purpose To assess the performance of a deep learning (DL) algorithm for evaluating and
supervising cataract extraction using phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) …

Background Previous studies found evidence that dispositional optimism is related to lower
pain sensitivity. Recent findings suggest that temporarily increasing optimism by means of …

Abstract Background and aims Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM) is a well-established
phenomenon and several protocols have shown acceptable between-subject reliability …

Objective Quantitative sensory testing (QST) consists of noninvasive psychophysical
assessment techniques to evaluate the functioning of the somatosensory nervous system …
