Temporal Dynamics of Heat Pain Sensations

Hashmi, Javeria Ali2010

The moment-to-moment fluctuations in pain-evoked sensory and emotional qualities, and how the pain experience differs between sexes are not well understood. Therefore, this thesis sought to 1) characterise the temporal profiles of the most prominent noxious heat-evoked sensations, 2) characterise …

The effects of suggested analgesia on radiant heat pain as a function of hypnotic susceptibility: a signal detection analysis

Bindewald, Richard AndrewVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University1982

… susceptibility (high vs. low) on acute radiant heat pain using a signal detection theory model. A signal detection paradigm was used in order to differentiate between sensitivity (sensory-discriminative) and respose bias (motivational-affective) components of pain. Treatments consisted of: (1) a …

Smoking to Cope with Pain: The Motivating Effects of Pain Induction on Smoking Urge and Behaviour

Parkerson, Hollyanne Ellen RuthFaculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina2013

Millions of Canadians live with chronic pain. Substantial evidence has linked tobacco smoking with both acute and chronic pain conditions. Contemporary models of pain and smoking posit a cyclical relationship wherein individuals smoke to reduce pain in the short term; however, smoking to cope with …
