When the Movies Come to Life: Media Violence and Physiological Pain Response
… violent video clip would increase physiological pain tolerance. Participants were asked to self-report their lifetime and recent media consumption and were then exposed to a violent or non-violent video clip. Results revealed that lifetime media violence consumption as well as exposure to a …

Do beliefs about race differences in pain contribute to actual race differences in experimental pain response?
Chronic pain is a costly health problem that affects more than 100 million people in the United States. Race differences exist in the way that pain is experienced and in how it is treated. Many biopsychosocial factors contribute to race differences in pain tolerance. Beliefs about race differences …

Effects of Music on the Pain Response in the Central Nervous System Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The oldest procedure for pain relief has been music. There is abundant behavioural evidence to support music’s pain relieving properties, however, studies to date have yet to investigate music-induced analgesia via imaging. Our first imaging study used thermal stimulation just below pain threshold …

Force Values for Maxiliary Anterior Depression
… headplates, and periapical radiographs. Pain response was recorded daily and mobility was recorded weekly. The maxillary anterior teeth were banded and also the two maxillary first molars. Anterior brackets and molar tubes were placed, and a base arch of .018 x .022 was inserted and …

The Role of Pain Persistence in the Association Between Negative Urgency and Suicidal Behavior
… has been shown to be indirect through painful and provocative events (PPEs; Bender, Gordon, Bresin, Joiner, 2011). Negative urgency (NU) is a subscale of impulsivity (Cyders et al., 2007) that has been associated with high engagement of PPEs such as non-suicidal self-injury because …

Pain and social context: social, contextual and environmental factors in the perception of acute pain
… reliable predictors of individual differences in responses to acute pain (e. g. sex, personality traits and cultural affiliation). These factors constitute relatively stable, long-term characteristics of an individual. However, there is also significant within-individual variation in response to …

The Physiological and Morphological Responses of the Bladder Urothelium to Differential Injury
… such as urinary tract infections: UTI), bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis: BPS/IC), and bladder cancer. UTIs and BPS/IC primarily afflict women and treatment costs over $5 billion and almost $200 million respectively in 2006. Quality of life in BPS/IC patients is low; comparable to …

FACIAL EXPRESSION DISCRIMINATES BETWEEN PAIN AND ABSENCE OF PAIN IN THE NON-COMMUNICATIVE, CRITICALLY ILL ADULT PATIENT
BACKGROUND: Pain assessment is a significant challenge in critically ill adults, especially those unable to communicate their pain level. At present there is no universally accepted pain scale for use in the non-communicative (cognitively impaired, sedated, paralyzed or mechanically ventilated) …

Safety of Epidurally Administered Ketorolac in Dogs
… last ethanol injection. Neurologic function and pain response was evaluated before and during the study. Selected dogs were then euthanized and necropsies performed. None of the dogs exhibited any clinical or neurological abnormalities during the study. No statistical difference was noted in pain …

Novel insights into early life stress-induced dysfunction of the gut-brain axis
Visceral pain, a debilitating hallmark of disorders of gut-brain axis interactions such as irritable bowel syndrome, has a major impact on quality of life. Given the increasing prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome over the past number of years, as well as a lack of effective treatments for …

Organisation of Glutamatergic Inputs to Central amygdala
Chronic pain is a major public health problem, leading to long term disability and distress that makes its clinical management challenging. Central amygdala (CeA) is a key neural substrate that contributes in the control of the pain response and modulates the affective-motivational component of …

Force Values and Rate of Distal Movement of the Mandibular First Permanent Molar
… designed to determine the rate of movement and pain response of this tooth when relatively light specified forces were applied for distal movement. This study was undertaken in the light of recent evidence which suggests that forces many times lighter than those currently employed may enhance …

Multisensory integration in subclinical neck pain
Subclinical neck pain (SCNP) is recurrent neck pain marked by painful “flare-ups” and minimal to no pain between flare-ups. It is associated with altered proprioception, slower mental rotation response times, and altered sensorimotor integration, leading to the possibility that multisensory …

Individual Differences in Secondary Hyperalgesia and Associated Neural Activity
Chronic pain is a leading cause of disability, yet it remains difficult to treat due to our limited understanding of its underlying mechanisms (Nijs et al., 2021). Central sensitization is a mechanism associated with chronic pain, and secondary hyperalgesia is a manifestation of central …

Automated partial premature infant pain profile scoring using big data analytics
Lack of valid and reliable pain assessment in the neonatal population has become a significant challenge in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Current practice in the NICU involves the meticulous, time-consuming and potentially bias process of manual interpretation of pain scores. In an …

The Psychology of Anxiety & Pain in Fibromyalgia
Understanding pain is integral to understanding fibromyalgia, a chronic musculoskeletal pain condition of undetermined aetiology, and for which no single successful medical therapy exists. Most of what is known about fibromyalgia pain comes from psychophysical research of central sensitisation, a …

Neural Mapping of Pain and Addiction: Visualizing Dopaminergic Modulation in the Mesocorticolimbic System
… and cocaine. To visualize the nuances of chronic pain treatment and VTA activity, we incorporate our CMOS imaging platform to investigate the effect of morphine on the VTA response during acute nociceptive stimulation in chronic neuropathic pain adult mouse models. Our findings suggest a …

Assessing the Repeatability of Clinical Tests in People with and without Flexion-induced Neck Pain
… risk factor for the development of clinical neck pain if sustained for prolonged periods. Determining the individuals who are naturally more predisposed to develop flexion-induced neck pain can aid in the prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. The purpose of this thesis is to …

Single Cell Transcriptomics and Spatial Localization in Mouse Neurons

Evolution of Toxin Resistance in the Grasshopper Mouse: A Comparative Genomics Perspective
… grasshopper mice have co-evolved resistance to painful and lethal neurotoxins produced by their scorpion prey. Interestingly, toxin resistance in the three species of grasshopper mice (Onychomys torridus, Onychomys leucogaster, and Onychomys arenicola) varies; Onychomys torridus exhibits the …
