  2. 1. Experimental tooth clenching : a model for studying mechanisms of muscle pain

    Author : Andreas Dawson; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tooth clenching; muscle pain; bruxism; Delphi technique; pain measurement; masticatory muscles; experimental pain; proprioceptive allodynia; temporomandibular disorders; serotonin; glutamate; masseter muscle; microdialysis;

    Abstract : “I felt like I’d done three rounds with Mike Tyson…all becauseI was grinding my teeth in my sleep”, så beskrev en patient somintervjuades av Daily Mail i en artikel där det ökade problemet medöverbelastning i käkarna beskrevs, vilket kan leda till tandslitage,muskelsmärta, och frakturer på tandmaterial. Det personliga lidandet,och de ekonomiska kostnaderna för både individ och samhälle ärstort. READ MORE

  4. 2. Towards a Translational Pain Model - Techniques and developments

    Author : Leila Etemadi; Neuronano Research Center (NRC); []
    Keywords : UVB irradiation; Pain; Neuropeptides; Inflammation; Contralateral; Lateral spinal nucleus; Micro-array electrodes; Pan-neuronal markers; immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : Pain is a major health issue for each affected individual and has a large impact on health costs. Most of our knowledge about this defensive system rely on data from different animal experiments. There is an obvious need for a translational pain model allowing comparisons between experimental animals and humans. READ MORE

  5. 3. Psychophysiological reactions to experimental stress : relations to pain sensitivity, position sense and stress perception

    Author : Marina Heiden; Eugene Lyskov; Tohr Nilsson; Ulf Lundberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : public health; autonomic activity; cognitive-behavioral training; muscle oxygenation; physical activity; position sense; pressure-pain thresholds; sick leave; stress; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Abstract : Stress and monotonous work contribute substantially to the development of chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Yet, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the process, particularly the involvement of autonomic regulation, remain unclear. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Entheses of the Medial Meniscns and Ligaments of the Knee Joint : Descriptive and Experimental Studies

    Author : Jizong Gao; Michael Benjamin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : knee joint; meniscus; ligaments; insertion; enthesis; quantitative morphology; fibrocartilage; cement line; collagens; proteoglycans; nerve fibres; tensile strength; failure mode; transection; refixation; repair; healing; osteoarthrosis; histology; immunohistochemistry; biomechanics; rabbit model; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Meniscal injuries are common in sports. Surgical removal of the meniscus to relieve symptoms is associated with a high risk for late knee joint osteoarthrosis and pain. Meniscal repair or replacement has therefore been advocated. READ MORE

  7. 5. Human experimental pain models : methodological and analgesic studies

    Author : Helène Schulte; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Pain; human volunteers; pain threshold; hyperalgesia; opioids; ketamine;

    Abstract : Pain is an important clinical issue with great impact on society and individuals' well being. It is well established that sensory abnormalities induced by tissue trauma and inflammation are clinically important in various acute and chronic pain conditions. READ MORE
