Possibilities of attentional control of pain: influence of distractive Stroop task on pain threshold and pain tolerance [PDF]
, 2006 Attention has been shown to modulate pain perception, but the relationship between attention and pain perception is still not clearly understood. Two independent experiments were conducted to examine the influence of focusing attention away from painful ...

The effects of smartphone use on upper extremity muscle activity and pain threshold
Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2015 [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine whether muscle activity and pressure-induced pain in the upper extremities are affected by smartphone use, and to compare the effects of phone handling with one hand and with both hands. [Subjects] The

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
