Abstract: Intense or sustained activation of peripheral nociceptors can induce central sensitization. This enhanced responsiveness to nociceptive input of the central nervous system primarily manifests as an increased sensitivity to painful mechanical pinprick stimuli extending beyond… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/pr9.0000000000000790
Abstract: Abstract Introduction: There is growing evidence that virtual reality (VR) can be used in the treatment of chronic pain conditions. However, further research is required to better understand the analgesic mechanisms during sensitised pain states.… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.13512
Abstract: Pain is thought to be influenced by the threat value of the particular context in which it occurs. However, the mechanisms by which a threat achieves this influence on pain are unclear. Here, we explore… read more here.
