  1. 6. Neuropathic pain : somatosensory functions related to spontaneous ongoing pain, mechanical allodynia and pain relief

    Författare :Åsa Landerholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Peripheral neuropathic pain; Central post stroke pain; Dynamic mechanical allodynia; Static mechanical allodynia; Dysesthesia; Quantitative sensory testing; Spinal cord stimulation.;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction and aim: Patients with neuropathic pain suffer from spontaneous ongoing pain and from abnormal stimulus-evoked pain, e.g., allodynia. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Local and systemic inflammatory mediators and their relation to pressure-pain threshold and pain of the temporomandibular joint

    Författare :Lars Fredriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The first aim of this investigation was to investigate the validity of TMJ pressure-pain threshold for assessment of pain conditions of inflammatory nature in the TMJ. Pressure-pain threshold was recorded from the palpable lateral pole of the TMJ condyle with a hand-held electronic pressure algometer (Somedic Production AB, Sollentuna, Sweden). LÄS MER

  4. 8. Masseter muscle pain and its relation to pain mediators in fibromyalgia and local myalgia

    Författare :Britt Hedenberg-Magnusson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Fibromyalgia; glucocorticoid; intramuscular temperature; isometric contraction; leukotriene B4; masseter muscle; microdialysis; myalgia; neuropeptide Y; pressure pain threshold; pressure pain tolerance level; prostaglandin E2; trapezius muscle; temporomandibular disorders; questionnaire; visual analogue pain scale.;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this investigation was to study chronic jaw muscle pain in fibromyalgia, local myalgia and healthy individuals in relation to the pain mediators PGE2, LTB4 and NPY and to study the effects of glucocorticoid administration and repetitive isometric contraction. A questionnaire showed presence of symptoms from the temporomandibular region in almost all fibromyalgia patients and the local pain was correlated to the general pain but on a lower level. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Intrathecal adenosine for treatment of acute pain : safety assessments and evaluation in experimental, surgical and labour pain

    Författare :Kerstin Rane Lindgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Adenosine; intrathecal; central sensitisation; neurotoxicity; spinal cord blood flow; analgesia; anaesthetic requirement; postoperative pain; labour pain.;

    Sammanfattning : Adenosine is an endogenous compound present in all cells in the body with a wide range of physiological effects. Exogenous administration of adenosine is used clinically as an antiarrytmic agent and as a vasodilator. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Pain influences somatosensory perception : an experimental and clinical study

    Författare :Ann-Sofie Leffler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Muscle pain; referred pain; hypoaesthesia; allodynia; musculoskeletal; pain; sensory abnormality; quantitative sensory testing; trapezius myalgia; somatosensory perception; perception thresholds; diffuse noxious inhibitory controls DNIC ; central hyperexcitability; tourniquet test; cold-pressor test.;

    Sammanfattning : The underlying mechanisms maintaining long-term pain localised to musculoskeletal structures and joints are not infrequently unknown. In routine clinical work with such patients insufficient attention has been paid to phenomena indicating altered excitability of the central nervous system (CNS). LÄS MER
