Cognitive Control across domains: integrating language, pain perception and clinical applications.
… processes, with a focus on language and pain perception. Drawing from my published work (including case studies, and critical reviews) this portfolio demonstrates that cognitive control is a core mechanism supporting both linguistic and sensory processing. Different aspects of cognitive …

Racial Bias in Pain Perception and Treatment Among Healthcare Pre-Professionals
… racial bias among healthcare providers affects pain outcomes among Black American women with healthcare providers prescribing Black women pain medication less often than to White women (Badreldin, et. al., 2019; Bateman & Carvalho, 2019). Racial biases that result in disparities regarding …

Uncovering a Monosynaptic Trigemino-parabrachial Circuit Facilitating Heightened Craniofacial Pain Perception
<p>Humans often rank craniofacial pain as more severe than body pain. Evidence suggests that a stimulus of the same intensity induces stronger pain in the face than in the body. However, the underlying neural circuitry for the differential processing of facial versus bodily pain remains unknown. …

Continuous Therapeutic Ultrasound Decreases Pain Perception and Increases Pain Threshold After Muscle Damage
… determine if there is an effect on the perception of pain using continuous therapeutic ultrasound is not possible. Therefore, we conducted a randomized, double blind trial to try and determine the effect of repetitive continuous therapeutic ultrasound for the treatment of pain caused by …

The influence of pressure stimulus intensity on pain perception and neuromuscular performance in healthy males
… sport is inherently linked with exposure to pain (Bartholemew et al, 1998; Heil, 1993) with those able to tolerate it whilst maintaining performance levels gaining a competitive edge over their opponents (Egan, 1987). Studies have shown that the presence of experimental pain reduces muscle …

Using a birth ball in the latent phase of labour to reduce pain perception; a randomised controlled trial.
… phase to 'await events' feel anxious and cite pain as their main drive to seeking hospital admission. Using a birth ball to assume upright positions and remain mobile in the latent phase of labour in hospital is associated with less pain and anxiety. However, no research has examined the effect …

The Effects of a Menthol-Based Topical Analgesic on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness-Induced Changes to Running Biomechanics and Pain Perception
… induced changes to running biomechanics and pain perception in well-trained runners. A menthol-based topical analgesic (n=10) was compared against a placebo group (n=10) on measures of kinematics, spatio-temporal parameters, and the perception of pain. Three-Dimensional (3D) kinematics of the …

Use of Video Games in Patients' Self-management of Pain: A Feasibility Study
<p>Background: Pain affects more than 75 million Americans and is the primary reason people seek medical attention. Pain is a common cause of disability and diminished quality of life. While anecdotal evidence exists regarding nurses’ use of distraction therapy activities in pain management, little …

Neuronal Processes Underlying Spatial Summation of Heat Sensations Investigated by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Entire Central Nervous System
Pain is a remarkably complex and a multifaceted process, involving the interaction between physiological and psychological factors in unique ways. Among many other factors, the size of the affected surface area contributes to the pain experience, altering one’s pain perception. Spatial summation is …

Locus of Control Orientation and Level of Pain in Postsurgical Patients
… locus of control accounted for differences in perception of pain relief in persons who had abdominal surgery and received epidural analgesia as a method to control acute pain postoperatively. Forty subjects who met the study criteria responded to the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control …

ON THE PROBABILISTIC MODELLING OF PAIN
Pain is a complex subjective experience encompassing sensory, affective, and cognitive dimensions. Evidence challenges the linear relationship between nociceptive activation and pain perception, revealing scenarios where pain is felt without nociceptive input or vice versa. This research is based …

CAS with Art and Chronic Pain: The Effects of Clearing a Space with Art on Women with Chronic Pain
… approach (Rappaport, 2009) on women with chronic pain. It was hypothesized that Clearing a Space with Art would lead to measurable decreases in anxiety, depression and stress, increases in mindful awareness, decreases in pain intrusion and pain perception, and increases in pain accommodation. The …

Effects of Caffeine on Muscular Strength
… understood. Due to caffeine's ability to alter pain perception and the onset of peripheral fatigue it may positively affect performance. This study examined the effects of caffeine on muscular strength, determined by the number of successfully completed reps at 85% of 1RM bench press. Fifteen …

Chronic Pain: a Community-Based Exercise and Education Program
Chronic pain affects approximately 16% to 36% of Canadian adults and is one of the most common reasons for physician visits in Canada. The effects of a self-referral community-based education/exercise program (Y-PEP) on physical function and well-being were initially evaluated in 20 individuals …
