1. 31. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of touch, cold and warmth in health, neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia

   Författare :Eva-Liz Harju; Gary B Rollman; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Ongoing pain; tactile and thermal dys function; perceived intensity; Master Scaling; perceived quality; Känsel; Smärta; fysiologisk psykologi; Fibromyalgi; psykologi; Psychology;

   Sammanfattning : The general aim of the present thesis is to examine tactile and thermal perceptual (dys)function by quantitative and qualitative tests of patients with neuropathic pain or fibromyalgia, and to compare results with those of healthy persons. A specific aim is to provide individual data for diagnostic purposes, specific to touch, cold, and warmth (profiles). LÄS MER

3. 32. Multimodal neuroimaging of pain and inflammation in the central nervous system in patients with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis

   Författare :Angelica Sandström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The prevalence of concomitant fibromyalgia (FM) is puzzlingly high among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and a contemporary challenge is to resolve why some RA patients continue to report pain despite adequate treatment of their peripheral inflammation. While recent literature has concentrated on the link between cerebral and inflammatory mechanisms in RA patients with concomitant FM, little attention has been directed towards commonalities and divergences among these two patient groups when they are wellcharacterized.

4. 33. Exercising the brain in pain : using fMRI to investigate intrinsic connectivity, cognition and pain regulation in fibromyalgia and how this is affected by physical exercise

   Författare :Sofia Martinsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The aims of the studies of this thesis were to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate cerebral activation patterns in fibromyalgia (FM) patients and healthy controls (HC) at rest, when performing the stroop colour word test (SCWT) and during pressure pain provocation. Distraction induced analgesia (DIA), performance on the SCWT and pressure pain sensitivity was investigated on the behavioural and psychophysical level. LÄS MER

5. 34. Significance of serotonin for pain, allodynia, and hyperalgesia in the human masseter muscle

   Författare :Malin Ernberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Anxiety; Double-Blind Method; 5-Hydroxytryptamine; Fibromyalgia; Hyperalgesia; Masseter muscle; Microdialysis; Pain threshold; Visual Analogue Pain Scale;

   Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the hypothesis that serotonin (5-HT) is involved in the pathophysiology of human chronic muscle pain. The thesis comprises a clinical and a human experimental part. LÄS MER

7. 35. Somatosensory dysfunctin in fibromyaligia : implications for pathophysiological mechanisms

   Författare :Eva Kosek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :allodynia; diffuse noxious inhibitory controls DNIC ; fibromyalgia; hyperesthesia; isometric contraction; pain modulation; pain inhibition; pressure algometry; quantitative sensory testing; sensitivity; sensitization; tourniquet test; v;

   Sammanfattning : Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by generalized pain, tenderness, disturbed sleep and pronounced fatigue. The pathophysiology is unknown but peripheral mechanisms (i.e., muscle ischemia) as well as central mechanisms (dysfunction in endogenous pain modulation) have been implicated. LÄS MER
