Pain Threshold of Human Anterior Teeth to Pressure Stimulation
… thesis was to design a method of measuring the pain threshold of human teeth and to study the relationship of variables such as age and sex with pain threshold of teeth. A procedure was developed to measure the pain threshold to mechanical stimulation applied as a force with a push gauge. An …

Continuous Therapeutic Ultrasound Decreases Pain Perception and Increases Pain Threshold After Muscle Damage
… 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 muscle damage …

The Effect of Exercise on Mechanical Pressure Pain Threshold in the Presence and Absence of Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness
Research has shown decreased pain sensitivity (hypoalgesia) during and following maximal and sub-maximal isometric exercise (Koltyn, 2002). Research on fibromyalgia patients however has shown the same exercises increase pain sensitivity (hyperalgesia) (Staud, Robinson, & Price, 2005; Kosek, Ekholm, …

Comparison of the effects of manual acupuncture, electroacupuncture and TENS on regional pressure pain thresholds : examination of the reliability of baseline alogmetry pressure pain threshold readings
… (MA) interventions upon regional pressure pain thresholds (PPT). The present research contains two separate studies and both provided a replication of manual acupuncture (MA) to Large Intestine 4 (LI4) (the standard UTS intervention) and an acupoint, Liver 3 (LR3), that has been used in a …

Investigating the effects of three needling parameters (manipulation, retention time, insertion site) on needling sensation and pain profiles and regional pressure pain threshold : a study of eight deep needling interventions
… the effect of acupuncture on regional pressure pain threshold (PPT) have been carried out at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, University of Technology, Sydney. The current study extended the previous research by investigating three needling parameters (needle retention time, needle …

The role of the prefrontal cortex in hypnotic and placebo analgesia.
… Pressor Test (CPT), a commonly used test for pain-threshold (the time at which pain is first felt) and pain-tolerance (from pain threshold until hand removal), under three counterbalanced conditions: 1) After receiving a hypnotic suggestion for analgesia; 2) After receiving a placebo analgesia …

THE EFFECT OF GROUP SIZE ON SYNCHRONY AND THE SYNCHRONY EFFECT
… to increase endorphin activity as measured by pain threshold (Cohen, Ejsmond-Frey, Knight, & Dunbar, 2010; Sullivan & Rickers, 2014). Although research on synchronous behaviour and the synchrony effect has noted instances of the synchrony effect in multiple physical activities (Cohen et al., …

Subjective Vs. Objective Physical Pain in Individuals Who Report a History of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury: A Closer Look at What it Means to Experience Pain
… behavior and differences in the experience of pain among those who self-injure. The goals for the current study were to reveal any relationships between the function of NSSI, the subjective experience of pain, and an objective measurement of pressure pain threshold. Participants completed the …

Personality’s interaction with the pain experience
Pain is more than just a physical response to disease or injury. Pain is flexible and varies dependant on psychological state. Personality traits such as depression, hysteria and hypochondriasis can mediate pain. A wealth of research has identified the relationship between personality and pain, but …

The localisation of Experimentally Evoked Dental Pain : an exploration of an intervention to improve the accuracy of localisation
… of the symptomatic tooth with pulpal pain could be very difficult for the dental patient and a challenging situation for the dentists. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the localisation accuracy of induced dental pain under a highly controlled experimental conditions and to …

Efeitos de um protocolo de estimulação transcraniana por corrente contínua combinada com exercícios baseados no método Pilates no tratamento da dor lombar crônica: ensaio controlado randomizado
Introduction: chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a multifactorial condition that significantly impacts functionality and quality of life. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that modulates cortical excitability, influencing pain perception. It has …

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 …

The Effects of Cannabidiol and Analgesic Expectancies on Experimental Pain Reactivity in Healthy Adults: A Balanced Placebo Design Trial
<p>Experimental pain trials have been unable to determine whether cannabinoid analgesia is attributable to intoxication, analgesic expectancies, and/or pharmacological action. One approach to resolving this issue involves testing the effects of analgesic expectancies and cannabidiol (CBD), a …

Effect of Emotion Regulation Strategies on the Pain Experience
Pain, an unpleasant subjective and multidimensional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, is fundamentally a psychological phenomenon with emotional components. As such, the multi-component coordination of processes by which emotions are moderated, emotional regulation (ER), …

The effect of a muscle energy stretch on suboccipital tenderness
… of manual therapy as a means of treating spinal pain and dysfunction, but there is little evidence of its role in pain modulation. This controlled and single blinded study aimed to investigate the effect of MET on pressure pain thresholds (PPT) in the suboccipital musculature in an asymptomatic …

The effect of manipulation on pressure pain thresholds in the thoracic spine
… effect of high velocity manipulation on pressure-pain threshold (PPT) in the thoracic spine in an asymptomatic population. Participants were randomly allocated into intervention groups, and received either a single extension thrust or thirty seconds of sham treatment consisting of 'laser …

Effect of vibration treatment on symptoms associated with eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage [thesis]
… has been used in physiotherapy to reduce pain and oedema, and to facilitate the repair of injured tissue. This study tested the hypothesis that vibration treatment would reduce the symptoms of muscle damage such as DOMS and swelling and enhance recovery from muscle damage induced by …

Damage-Induced Inflammation and Nociceptive Hypersensitivity In Drosophila Larvae
… debris from damaged tissues, and specialized pain receptors become hypersensitive to promote behavior that protects the damaged area while it heals. To uncover the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these processes, we have developed a genetically tractable invertebrate model of …

Pain assessment and possible mechanism of delayed onset muscle soreness
Muscle pain is felt during exercise or daily activities for several days after performing unaccustomed exercise, which is referred to as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Many people experience DOMS, but its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. One of the challenges in the …

The effect of manual pressure release on myofascial trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle
… muscle (tender band that produced referred pain to neck and /or head on manual pressure). Subjects were randomly allocated into either the treatment (MPR) or control (sham myofascial release) groups. The pressure pain threshold (PPT) was recorded pre and post treatment intervention using a …
