  1. 1. Peripheral Regulation of Pain and Itch

    Författare :Elín Ingibjörg Magnúsdóttir; Malin C. Lagerström; George H. Caughey; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pain; itch; CGRP; TRPV1; mast cell; mast cell protease; mMCP4; mMCP6; CPA3; endothelin-1; compound 48 80; MRGPRX2; single-stranded oligonucleotide;

    Sammanfattning : Pain and itch are diverse sensory modalities, transmitted by the somatosensory nervous system. Stimuli such as heat, cold, mechanical pain and itch can be transmitted by different neuronal populations, which show considerable overlap with regards to sensory activation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Central nervous modulation of pain - a clinical and experimental study

    Författare :Christopher Lundborg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :pain; head and neck; cisterna magna; baroreflex; noradrenaline; GDNF; co-cultured astrocytes; naloxon; osteoarthritis; calcium;

    Sammanfattning : This series of studies addresses several conceptual issues in modern pain therapy related to the contemporary understanding of mechanisms and modulators involved in the pain sensation. Novel invasive therapy for severe pain, neurogenic interactions, humoral regulators and cellular responses were studied. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Pain drawings in the evaluation of lumbar disc-related pain

    Författare :Donna D Ohnmeiss; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :pain drawings; low back pain; discography; intervertebral disc; clinical pain provocation; discrelated pain; sensation quality; diagnostic evaluation; repeatability; chronic pain; lumbar spine;

    Sammanfattning : Pain drawings have been used in a variety of settings to investigate pain, including low back pain. The drawings allow a rapidly completed assessment that have several potential applications including psychological screening tool, documenting pain location, and evaluating pain quality. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Pain in intensive care : assessments and patients’ experience

    Författare :Mia Hylén; Åsa Muntlin; Malmö universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis was to translate, psychometrically test, and further develop the Behavioral Pain Scale for pain assessment in intensive care and to analyze if any other variables (besides the behavioral domains) could affect the pain assessments. Furthermore, the aim was to explore the patients’ experience of pain within the intensive care. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Targeting and driving somatosensory neurons

    Författare :Fabio Freitag; Malin C. Lagerström; Andrew Todd; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pain; Itch; GRPR interneurons; dorsal horn; trigeminal nucleus caudalis; Barrel field;

    Sammanfattning : Pain and itch are two distinct sensations, but the fundamental question of how our nervous system distinguishes the processing and encoding of their related information is still far to be clearly delineated. At the spinal cord level, evidences have pointed out specific groups of neurons expressing the gastrin releasing peptide (Grp) and its receptor (Grpr) as responsible for carrying specifically itch-related information.
