Pain is an integrative phenomenon that results from dynamic interactions between sensory
and contextual (ie, cognitive, emotional, and motivational) processes. In the brain the …

As a technique that can guide brain plasticity, non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has the
potential to improve the treatment of chronic pain because it can interfere with ongoing brain …

Pain inhibition by additional somatosensory input is the rationale for the widespread use of
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to relieve pain. Two main types of …

Individual differences in pain perception are of interest in basic and clinical research as
altered pain sensitivity is both a characteristic and a risk factor for many pain conditions. It is …

Background Previous studies have found widespread pain processing alterations in the
brain in chronic low back pain (cLBP) patients. We aimed to (1) identify brain regions …

Pain occurs in time. In naturalistic settings, pain perception is sometimes stable but often
varies in intensity and quality over the course of seconds, minutes, and days. A principal aim …

Accumulating evidence has shown that complicated brain systems are involved in the
development and maintenance of chronic low back pain (cLBP), but the association …

Searching for pain-preferential neural activity is essential for understanding and managing
pain. Here, we investigated the preferential role of thalamocortical neural dynamics in …

Consumers frequently make decisions about how much they are willing to pay (WTP) for
specific products and services, but little is known about the neural mechanisms underlying …

Despite the high prevalence and socioeconomic impact of chronic low back pain (cLBP),
treatments for cLBP are often unsatisfactory, and effectiveness varies widely across patients …
