Is motor cortical excitability altered in people with chronic pain? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Chronic pain is characterised by maladaptive neuroplasticity in many systems,
including the motor system. There is evidence that patients with chronic pain demonstrate …

Alterations in central motor representation increase over time in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy
Objective To investigate whether rotator cuff tendinopathy leads to changes in central motor
representation of a rotator cuff muscle, and to assess whether such changes are related to …

Tonic pain experienced during locomotor training impairs retention despite normal performance during acquisition
Many patients are in pain when they receive gait training during rehabilitation. Based on
animal studies, it has been proposed that central sensitization associated to nociception …

Paired associative stimulations: Novel tools for interacting with sensory and motor cortical plasticity
In the early 2000s, a novel non-invasive brain stimulation protocol, the paired associative
stimulation (PAS), was introduced, allowing to induce and investigate Hebbian associative …
