Background/Objectives
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.govPrimary insomnia (PI) is the most common clinical sleep disorder that can be effectively treated with acupuncture. However, the selection of optimal acupoints remain contentious.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.govNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a major clinical and public health issue in adolescence. Although psychological factors such as depression, anxiety and emotion dysregulation have been widely examined, less is known about how pain perception and autonomic reactivity interact with these variables in NSSI.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.govTo assess the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for pain relief and disability reduction in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP).
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.govThe present study evaluates the effects of chronic ammonia toxicity under varying salinity conditions on the growth performance, survival, and histological integrity of the mudskipper Boleophthalmus boddarti. Fish were exposed to graded ammonia concentrations (0, 0.1 and 0.3 g L
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.govChronic pain in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) may play an important role in developing central sensitization (CS) symptoms. However, the relationship between CS severity and clinical parameters in LSS is unclear. This study aimed to compare pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT), disability, pain catastrophizing, depression, and sleep quality across CS severity in LSS patients and to examine their relationships.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.govPre-treatment communication may influence short-term responses to spinal manipulation. This secondary analysis examined associations between expectations, attitude toward manual therapy, expectation fulfillment, and pain intensity (NPRS-11) and lumbar pressure pain threshold (PPT) across verbal framings.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.govResearch highlights the potential role of physical activity (PA) in preventing chronic pain and reducing both acute and persistent pain symptoms. While increasing PA is an evidence-based intervention for chronic pain, the relationship between pain processing and PA remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate associations of both PA and fitness assessments with multiple measures of pain sensitivity, hypothesizing links with both static and dynamic pain sensitivity metrics.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.govMidportion Achilles tendinopathy is a common injury affecting individuals across various activity levels, characterized by pain, impaired performance, and pathological changes in tendon structure. Although the clinical examination is crucial for diagnosis and management, the relationship between pain measures and tendon pathology remains unclear, prompting further investigation into their diagnostic and prognostic value.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.govThe functional relationship between postural control and the stomatognathic system is being increasingly investigated.
