Visceral pain: gut microbiota, a new hope? [PDF]
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.

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 ...

Stress-Induced Chronic Visceral Pain of Gastrointestinal Origin [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2017 Visceral pain is generally poorly localized and characterized by hypersensitivity to a stimulus such as organ distension. In concert with chronic visceral pain, there is a high comorbidity with stress-related psychiatric disorders including anxiety and ...

Chronic visceral pain secondary to ventral disc herniation: Development of visceral complex regional pain syndrome [PDF]
Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2015 When an organ disease is ruled out as the origin of pelvic pain, the superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) injury and consequent dysfunction could be the mechanism of visceral chronic pain perpetuation.

TGR5 agonists induce peripheral and central hypersensitivity to bladder distension
Scientific Reports, 2022 The mechanisms underlying chronic bladder conditions such as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) are incompletely understood.

Preemptive Intravenous Nalbuphine for the Treatment of Post-Operative Visceral Pain: A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]
, 2021 Introduction: Post-operative visceral pain is common in early postoperative period after laparoscopic surgery. As a kappa opioid receptor agonist, the antinociceptive effects of nalbuphine in visceral pain are consistent across a multitude of ...

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

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.

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.
