Non-pharmacological approach to neuropathic pain: the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
(SPRINGER, 2010)
Neuromodulation is the branch of neurophysiology related to the therapeutic effects of electrical stimulations of the nervous system. There are currently different practical applications of neuromodulation techniques for ...
Review of techniques useful for the assessment of sensory small fiber neuropathies: report from an IFCN expert group
(Elsevier, 2022)
Nerve conduction studies (NCS) are an essential aspect of the assessment of patients with peripheral neuropathies. However, conventional NCS do not reflect activation of small afferent fibers, including Ad and C fibers. A ...
Clinical presentation and diagnosis of neuropathic pain
(Sociedade Brasileira para o Estudo da Dor, 2016)
ABSTRACTBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Neuropathic pain is reason for distress and incapacity of several patients, being that symptoms, mechanisms and management distinguish it from nociceptive pain. This study aimed at ...
Intense and sustained pain reduces cortical responses to auditory stimuli: Implications for the interpretation of the effects of heterotopic noxious conditioning stimulation in humans
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-08)
Phasic pain stimuli are inhibited when they are applied concomitantly with a conditioning tonic stimulus at another body location (heterotopic noxious conditioning stimulation, HNCS). While the effects of HNCS are thought ...
Unmyelinated afferents in human skin and their responsiveness to low temperature
(2010)
In humans, there are different types of cutaneous cold-sensitive afferents responsible for cold sensation and cold pain. Innocuous cold is primarily mediated by a population of slow A delta afferents, based on psychophysical ...
Increased variability of motor cortical excitability to transcranial magnetic stimulation in migraine: a new clue to an old enigma
(SPRINGERNEW YORK, 2012)
Increased, decreased or normal excitability to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been reported in the motor (M1) and visual cortices of patients with migraine. Light deprivation (LD) has been reported to modulate ...
Review of techniques useful for the assessment of sensory small fiber neuropathies: Report from an IFCN expert group.
(2022)
Nerve conduction studies (NCS) are an essential aspect of the assessment of patients with peripheral neuropathies. However, conventional NCS do not reflect activation of small afferent fibers, including Aδ and C fibers. A ...
Is quadriceps H-reflex excitability a risk factor for patellofemoral pain?
(Churchill Livingstone, 2017-10-01)
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most common conditions in orthopedic practice while recent evidence has suggested that it may be a predisposing factor to patellofemoral osteoarthritis. In addition to biomechanical ...
