Chronic pain imposes a significant burden to the healthcare system and adversely affects
patients' quality of life. Traditional subjective assessments, however, do not adequately …

Neural degeneration is a hallmark of healthy aging and can be associated with specific
cognitive impairments. However, neural degeneration per se is not matched by unremitting …

Background: Plantar sensation and ankle proprioception occur in a stage-like variance
across the life span. However, changes in adolescents, young adults, middle-aged adults …

Background Pain sensitivity varies across multimodal somatosensory stimuli that can rely on
different conductive fibres, which, when damaged, will lead to neuropathies. However, there …

Aging is generally associated with declining somatosensory function, which seems at odds
with the high prevalence of chronic pain in older people. This discrepancy is partly related to …

Sensing temperature is vitally important to adapt our body to environmental changes. Local
warm detection is required to initiate regulation of cutaneous blood flow, which is part of the …

Chronic pain is driven by factors across the biopsychosocial spectrum. Previously, we
demonstrated that magnetic resonance images (MRI)-based brain-predicted age differences …

Though pain sensitivity impairments contribute to chronic pain in younger adults, it is unclear
if pain hypersensitivity manifests with aging and is heightened in the geriatric chronic low …

Objectives: Pain sensitivity and the brain structure are critical in modulating pain and may
contribute to the maintenance of pain in older adults. However, a paucity of evidence exists …
