How do we feel pain ? Pain Mechanisms - Pain receptors, Pain signals
Persistent or chronic pain is the primary reason people seek medical care, yet current therapies are either inadequate for certain types
of pain or cause intolerable side effects. Recently, pain neurobiologists have identified a number of cellular and molecular processes that
lead to the initiation and maintenance of pain.
How can emotions affacet your pain
Emotions can also affect the gate in the dorsal horn computer. The normal state of affairs is that there are continuous descending signals from the brain to all the dorsal horn computers in the body.
Dorsal Horn Sensitisation Pain Theory
One of the main characteristics of central sensitization associated with postinjury pain and chronic pain is increased excitability of the dorsal horn neurons in the spinal cord
What Is Acute Pain?
Acute pain begins suddenly and is usually sharp in quality. It serves as a warning of disease or a threat to the body.
What Is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is defined by experts as pain that has not gone away or recurs frequently even after six months have passed. Traditional treatment methods often fail to bring relief.
What Causes Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain can be caused by many different factors. Often conditions that accompany normal aging may affect bones and joints in ways that cause chronic pain. Other common causes are nerve damage and injuries that fail to heal properly.
Pain Classification and Pain types
There are two basic types of pain: acute pain and chronic pain
What is the Future of Pain Research?
One objective of investigators working to develop the future generation of pain medications is to take full advantage of the body's pain "switching center" by formulating compounds that will prevent pain signals from being amplified or stop them altogether.
Beliefs, Cultures, Knowledge and Pain
Patients and health professionals bring their own cultural attitudes to the communication and interpretation of the patient¡¯s pain experience.
Pain Gate Control Theory
small diameter nerve fibres carry pain stimuli through a 'gate mechanism' but larger diameter nerve fibres going through the same gate can inhibit the transmission of the smaller nerves carrying the pain signal
Somatic Pain and Medication
Common causes of somatic pain include changes in the bone or pressure on nerves, and post-surgical pain from an incision.
