Neuropathic pain : somatosensory functions related to spontaneous ongoing pain, mechanical allodynia and pain relief [PDF]
, 2010 Introduction and aim: Patients with neuropathic pain suffer from spontaneous ongoing pain and from abnormal stimulus-evoked pain, e.g., allodynia. Dynamic mechanical allodynia (DMA) is evoked by a normally innocuous light moving mechanical stimulus on

An investigation into enlarging and reducing the size of mirror reflections of the hand on experimentally-induced cold-pressor pain in healthy human participants [PDF]
, 2015 Background and aims: Mirror visual feedback may be a useful clinical tool for reducing pain. Research suggests that reducing the size of a non-painful reflected hand can alleviate complex regional pain syndrome in the affected hand that is out of view ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Ultrasound (US) has been proposed as a potential tool for assessing skin fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, a large‐scale comparison of US‐based assessment with histologic markers of skin fibrosis has not been reported. We evaluated US‐based skin assessments for their face validity (differentiation between involved SSc and healthy

Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging for the Evaluation of the Sacroiliac Joint in Pediatric Patients
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Maturational signal in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) of skeletally immature youth is often misinterpreted as inflammation. Diagnostic tools that improve specificity are greatly needed. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), when used with standard imaging, may enhance diagnostic accuracy.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and pretreatment urate levels have been reported to influence the urate‐lowering response to allopurinol. We investigated whether the fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) also modulates this response and relates to oxypurinol concentrations.
