This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to identify and quantify the current available
evidence of hypnosis efficacy to manage pain in patients with chronic musculoskeletal and …

Background The perception of effort provides information on task difficulty and influences
physical exercise regulation and human behavior. This perception differs from other …

Objective To assess cervical musculoskeletal impairments during the 4 phases of a migraine
cycle in episodic migraine patients, controlling for the presence of concomitant neck pain …

Muscle pain is an important determinant of exercise tolerance, but its relationship with
neurophysiological responses during a submaximal exercise trial is unclear. The purpose of …

Critically ill patients often lack cognitive or communicative functions, making it challenging to
assess their pain levels using self-reporting mechanisms. There is an urgent need for an …

Pain alters motor function. This is supported by studies showing reduced corticomotor
excitability in response to experimental pain lasting< 90 minutes. Whether similar reductions …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used to examine inhibitory and
facilitatory circuits during experimental pain and in chronic pain populations. However …

Abstract Background and Objective Numerous studies have examined the influence of pain
on spinal reflex excitability, motor unit behaviour and corticospinal excitability. Nevertheless …

Scientific evidence points to a shared neural representation between performing and
observing an action. The action observation notoriously determines a modulation of the …

Persistence of low back pain is thought to be associated with different underlying pain
mechanisms, including ongoing nociceptive input and central sensitisation. We …
