this condition have a significantly reduced quality of life. The currently available …

The validity of upper-limb neurodynamic tests (ULNTs) for detecting peripheral neuropathic
pain (PNP) was assessed by reviewing the evidence on plausibility, the definition of a …

Objectives: To investigate sensory changes present in patients with chronic whiplash-

Results: This model, the ectopic pacemaker hypothesis of HZ and PHN, proposes that pain
in both conditions is driven by hyperexcitable ectopic pacemaker sites at various locations in …

In nerve compression syndromes restricted nerve sliding may lead to increased strain,
possibly contributing to symptoms. Ultrasound was used to examine longitudinal median …
