16. Brain mechanisms in pain regulation
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
17. The cellular processing of the endocannabinoid anandamide and its pharmacological manipulation
Sammanfattning : Anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanolamide, AEA) and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) exert most of their actions by binding to cannabinoid receptors. The effects of the endocannabinoids are short-lived due to rapid cellular accumulation and metabolism, for AEA, primarily by the enzymes fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). LÄS MER
18. Self-Organizing Body Maps in the Spinal Cord
Sammanfattning : During development primary afferents grow into and establish neuronal connections in the spinal cord, conveying information of the anatomical and mechanical properties of the body. This body representation forms the basis for how we perceive sensory information and control our movements. LÄS MER
19. A new technique for postoperative pain management with local anesthetic after abdominal hysterectomy
Sammanfattning : An abdominal hysterectomy (AH) is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain. In this thesis, a new technique for postoperative pain managment has been studied in 200 patients: local anesthetic (LA) was administered intraperitoneally (IP) after elective AH. LÄS MER
20. Position-matching and goal-directed reaching acuity of the upper limb in chronic neck pain : associations to self-rated characteristics
Sammanfattning : Neck-shoulder pain is common in the general population and causes individual suffering as well as large costs for the society. Despite substantial efforts, there is still a shortage of methods for objective diagnosis and effective rehabilitation of such disorders. Thus, there is a great need to develop and evaluate new methods for these purposes. LÄS MER
