About Pain

Last Updated: Jul 1, 2011 - 8:08:19 PM

Fibromyalgia Symptoms
The pain associated with fibromyalgia is described as a constant dull ache, typically arising from muscles. To be considered widespread, the pain must occur on both sides of your body and above and below your waist.

Alternative medicine for Fibromyalgia
Complementary and alternative therapies for pain and stress management aren't new. Some, such as meditation and yoga, have been practiced for thousands of years. But their use has become more popular in recent years, especially with people who have chronic illnesses, such as fibromyalgia.

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.

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

Fibromyalgia Diagnosis
Tender points and Blood tests are used to diagnosis fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia Causes and Diagnosis
The cause of fibromyalgia (FMS) is poorly understood. Many experts believe that FMS is caused by a problem in the way pain messages pass through or are processed by the central nervous system (CNS).

Fibromyalgia Medication Treatment
There are many different medications used to treat fibromyalgia symptoms, including sleeping pills and antidepressants. Some fibromyalgia medicines help ease pain. Others boost mood and improve sleep.

Gate Theory Of Pain
The gate control theory of pain is the idea that physical pain is not a direct result of activation of pain receptor neurons, but rather its perception is modulated by interaction between different neurons.

Glossary - Fibromyalgia

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.

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.

Nociceptive Pain
Nociceptive pain is initiated by stimulation of peripheral nerve fibers that respond only to stimuli approaching or exceeding harmful intensity

Pain
Pain is an unpleasant sensation occurring in varying degrees of severity as a consequence of injury, disease, or emotional disorder.

Pain Classification and Pain types
There are two basic types of pain: acute pain and chronic pain

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

Pain theory and Pain Gate theory
Pain is part of the body's defense system, producing a reflexive retraction from the painful stimulus, and tendencies to protect the affected body part while it heals, and avoid that harmful situation in the future

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, or RSDS, is accompanied by burning pain and hypersensitivity to temperature. Often triggered by trauma or nerve damage, RSDS causes the skin of the affected area to become characteristically shiny. In recent years, RSDS has come to be called complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS); in the past it was often called causalgia

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome PHARMACOTHERAPY INTRODUCTION
few medications for CRPS have been tested in double-blind, randomized controlled trials

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.

The A to Z of Pain - Pain Glossary
There is the pain of childbirth, the pain of a heart attack, and the pain that sometimes follows amputation of a limb. There is also pain accompanying cancer and the pain that follows severe trauma, such as that associated with head and spinal cord injuries.

Trauma
Trauma can occur after injuries in the home, at the workplace, during sports activities

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.

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 is Fibromyalgia syndrome
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is an illness that causes widespread muscle pain, tender points, poor sleep, and fatigue.

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.

What should we do in the Future Pain Research ?
Developing better pain treatments is the primary goal of all pain research being conducted by these institutes.

Whic Drugs Treat Chronic Pain
RX, Tramadol, Fioricet, Oral for chronic Pain

Why we feel Pain : neurotransmitters transmit nerve impulses from one cell to another
Pain is a complicated process that involves an intricate interplay between a number of important chemicals found naturally in the brain and spinal cord. In general, these chemicals, called neurotransmitters, transmit nerve impulses from one cell to another.

pain gate mechanism
To explain why thoughts and emotions influence pain perception, Ronald Melzack and Patrick Wall proposed that a gating mechanism exists within the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Small nerve fibers (pain receptors) and large nerve fibers ("normal" receptors) synapse on projection cells (P), which go up the spinothalamic tract to the brain, and inhibitory interneurons (I) within the dorsal horn

pain sensitisation
Pain systems need to be sensitive enough to detect potentially harmful stimuli. But often they become too sensitive, causing us pain that provides no benefit. This hypersensitivity arises because our pain pathways actually increase in sensitivity when they relay pain messages, and the mechanisms of this sensitization are beginning to be revealed.
