Greater interruption of visual processing and memory encoding by visceral than somatic pain in healthy volunteers – An fMRI study

NeuroImage, 2022
Visceral pain is regarded as more salient than somatic pain. It has greater affective and emotional components, i.e., it elicits higher levels of pain-related fear and is perceived as more unpleasant than somatic pain. In this fMRI study, we examined the

NONORGANIC PAIN AND VISCERAL HYPERALGESIA IN CHILDHOOD [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Pediatrics, 2013
Visceral pain is different from the somatic one: visceral receptors have different functional engagement, the nociception degree differ from one organ to another, the few visceral afferent fi bers are predominantly unmyelinised and have an extensive ...

Disengaging spinal afferent nerve communication with the brain in live mice

Communications Biology, 2022
A surgical method in mice can selectively remove dorsal root ganglia (DRG) at specific spinal levels without interfering with other nerves, providing insight on thoracolumbar vs. lumbosacral DRG contributions to pain signalling and behaviour.

Animal models of visceral pain and the role of the microbiome

Neurobiology of Pain, 2021
Visceral pain refers to pain arising from the internal organs and is distinctly different from the expression and mechanisms of somatic pain. Diseases and disorders with increased visceral pain are associated with significantly reduced quality of life ...

Possible implications of animal models for the assessment of visceral pain

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, 2020
Acute pain, provoked generally after the activation of peripheral nociceptors, is an adaptive sensory function that alerts the individual to avoid noxious stimuli.

Purinergic mechanosensory transduction and visceral pain [PDF]

, 2009
In this review, evidence is presented to support the hypothesis that mechanosensory transduction occurs in tubes and sacs and can initiate visceral pain.

Paraventricular Mast Cell-Derived Histamine Activates CRH Neurons to Mediate Adult Visceral Hypersensitivity Induced by Neonatal Maternal Separation

Brain Sciences, 2023
Neonatal maternal separation (NMS) is an early-life stress (ELS) that can result in adult visceral hypersensitivity, which is usually manifested as chronic visceral pain.

P2Y Receptors Sensitize Mouse and Human Colonic Nociceptors [PDF]

, 2016
Activation of visceral nociceptors by inflammatory mediators contributes to visceral hypersensitivity and abdominal pain associated with many gastrointestinal disorders.

Visceral pain: gut microbiota, a new hope?

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2018
Background Visceral pain is a complex and heterogeneous disorder, which can range from the mild discomfort of indigestion to the agonizing pain of renal colic. Regulation of visceral pain involves the spinal cord as well as higher order brain structures.

The locus coeruleus input to the rostral ventromedial medulla mediates stress-induced colorectal visceral pain

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2023
Unlike physiological stress, which carries survival value, pathological stress is widespread in modern society and acts as a main risk factor for visceral pain.
