Linking pain and the body: neural correlates of visually induced analgesia [PDF]

, 2012
The visual context of seeing the body can reduce the experience of acute pain, producing a multisensory analgesia. Here we investigated the neural correlates of this “visually induced analgesia” using fMRI.

Ambulatory continuous peripheral nerve blocks to treat postamputation phantom limb pain: a multicenter, randomized, quadruple-masked, placebo-controlled clinical trial

Pain, 2020
Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. A 6-day ambulatory continuous peripheral nerve block reduces phantom limb pain and pain-induced physical and emotional dysfunction for at least 4 weeks after treatment.

Phantom Limb Pain [PDF]

Neurology, 2015
The prevalence of phantom limb pain is reported to be as high as 85%. In most amputees, the frequency and intensity of pain attacks decrease over the years; however, approximately 5-10% of amputees continue to have severe phantom limb pain. Unfortunately, the current treatment for chronic phantom limb pain is far from satisfactory.

Is Phantom Limb Awareness Necessary for the Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain?

Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica
Phantom limb pain is attributed to abnormal sensorimotor cortical representations. Various feedback treatments have been applied to induce the reorganization of the sensorimotor cortical representations to reduce pain.

Microbial profile of the appendix niche in acute appendicitis: a novel sampling approach

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study utilized a novel sampling method, ERAT (i.e. endoscopic retrograde appendicitis treatment)‐guided lumen aspiration, to obtain samples from the appendix, and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed for in situ characterization of the appendix microbiome in patients with acute appendicitis.

Contralateral Acupuncture for the Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain and Phantom Limb Sensation in Oncologic Lower Limb Amputee: A Case Report

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Phantom limb pain (PLP) and phantom limb sensation (PLS) are common and distressing sequelae of amputation. Current pain management following amputation is challenging and unsatisfying.

The Tell-Tale Hand: Gothic Narratives and the Brain [PDF]

, 2016
The opening story in Winesburg, Ohio (1919) by Sherwood Anderson is called simply “Hands.” It is about a teacher’s remarkable hands that sometimes seem to move independently of his will.

Transcriptional regulation of neuropeptide receptors underlies context‐dependent adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Under environmental changes, the expression level of neuropeptide (NP) and neuropeptide receptor (NPR) genes changes to confer context‐dependent adaptation to the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. Through finding more regulatory elements in the NPR genes in comparison with their ligands (NPs), we found that NPR‐biased transcriptional regulation ...

Phantom pain [PDF]

, 2016
Almost anyone with a limb amputation experiences phantom sensations. Moreover, the majority of amputees experience pain. This phenomenon is known as ‘Phantom pain’ and is described as the pain felt from a body part, usually a limb, which is no longer ...

Interference of unilateral lower limb amputation on motor imagery rhythm and remodeling of sensorimotor areas

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
PurposeThe effect of sensorimotor stripping on neuroplasticity and motor imagery capacity is unknown, and the physiological mechanisms of post-amputation phantom limb pain (PLP) illness remain to be investigated.Materials and methodsIn this study, an ...
