Chronic pain is not simply a temporal continuum of acute pain. Studies on functional
plasticity in neural circuits of pain have provided mechanistic insights and linked various …

The brain contains both generalized and stimulus-type-specific representations of aversive
events, but models of how these are integrated and related to subjective experience are …

An emerging technique in chronic pain research is MRI, which has led to the understanding
that chronic pain patients display brain structure and function alterations. Many of these …

Fibromyalgia is a disorder that is part of a spectrum of syndromes that lack precise
classification. It is often considered as part of the global overview of functional somatic …

Pain is a highly complex and individual experience with biological, psychological and social
(biopsychosocial) contributions. Pain is associated with activity within the nervous system …

Background Previous studies have repeatedly found distinct brain morphometric changes in
patients with fibromyalgia (FM), mainly affecting gray and white matter abnormalities in …

The computational principles by which the brain creates a painful experience from
nociception are still unknown. Classic theories suggest that cortical regions either reflect …

Background Recent studies have shown that novel neuro-modulating techniques can have
pain-relieving effects in the treatment of chronic pain. The aim of this work is to evaluate the …

Objectives: Pain catastrophizing is reliably associated with pain reports during experimental
pain in healthy, pain-free subjects and in people with chronic pain. It also correlates with self …
