  1. 1. Endocannabinoids and N-acylethanolamines in translational pain research : from monoacylglycerol lipase to muscle pain

    Författare :Nazdar Ghafouri; Christopher J Fowler; Andrew SC Rice; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Monoacylglycerol lipase; endocannabinoid; palmitoylethanolamide; N-acylethanolamines; microdialysis; chronic widespread pain; muscle pain; trapezius;

    Sammanfattning : In the early nineties cannabinoid receptors, the main target for Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana were identified. Shortly after their endogenous ligands, N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide, AEA) and 2-diacylglycerol (2-AG) were characterized. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Muscle Tenderness in Women

    Författare :Ann Persson; Neurokirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Reliability.; Electronic algometer; Pain threshold; Pain measurement; Shoulder pain; Tenderness; Muscle; Nociception; Central processing; Physical medicine; kinesitherapy; revalidation; rehabilitation; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ;

    Sammanfattning : Longstanding pain experienced from the musculoskeletal system is reported by one third of the Swedish population. The underlying mechanisms are not known in the majority of cases. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Experimental studies of spinal mechanisms associated with muscle fatigue

    Författare :Ivana Kalezic; Vito Enrico Pettorossi; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :muscle fatigue; monosynaptic reflex; presynaptic inhibition; recurrent inhibition; fusimotor system; Fos-immunoreactivity; referral pain; kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Muscle fatigue is ubiquitous in every day life.Muscle fatigue might be considered as an altered state of motor behaviour, which impairs motor performance. By contrast, muscle fatigue could also be considered a positive phenomenon, which protects muscle tissue from damage that might be incurred to it by overuse. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Interactions between the brain and the immune system in pain and inflammation

    Författare :Joanna Zajdel; David Engblom; Annika Thorsell; Jan Pieter Konsman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; inflammation; pain; EP3Rs; serotonin; CGRP; conditioned taste aversion; maternal separation; maternal buffering;

    Sammanfattning : Reciprocal interactions between the nervous and immune systems have gained a lot of attention in the last two decades, especially after demonstrating that cytokine immunotherapies can induce depression and after describing the inflammatory reflex. A lot of effort has been dedicated to understanding how the signals from the immune system reach the brain and vice versa, and on their role in health and disease. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Brain mechanisms in pain regulation

    Författare :Karin B Jensen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The subjective sensitivity to pain differs greatly between individuals and neuroimaging has contributed to the understanding of the cerebral mechanisms involved in pain regulation. The descending pain inhibitory circuitry is a well defined cerebral network that enables regulation of afferent nociceptive information. LÄS MER
