Neuropathic pain in children can be severe and persistent, difficult to recognise and
manage, and associated with significant pain-related disability. Recognition based on …

Objectives: We aimed to explore the possible effects of musculoskeletal diagnosis and test
site on QST interrater and test–retest reliability. Methods: The study included participants …

Background Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG‐S) is used as a treatment for chronic low‐
back pain (CLBP), although its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. CLBP patients have …

Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is common and is characterised by recurrent
abdominal pain, which is a major contributor to healthcare seeking. The neurobiological …

Objectives There is growing interest in conditioned pain modulation (CPM) protocols for
evaluating the function of the descending pain-modulatory system in clinical settings. The …

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) can be useful to identify high-risk patients for the
development of chronic postsurgical pain. This systematic review aims to assess if …

Objective Evidence suggests altered pronociceptive and antinociceptive mechanisms in
many chronic pain conditions. Knowledge about these mechanisms in nonspecific chronic …

Background and objective Orofacial quantitative sensory testing (QST) is an increasingly
valuable psychophysical tool for evaluating neurosensory disorders of the orofacial region …

Objective: The objective of the review is to determine whether conditioned pain modulation
(CPM) is impaired in adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP) when compared with pain …

Background Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is measured by comparing pain induced
by a test stimulus with pain induced by the same test stimulus, either during (parallel design) …
