Book Synopsis Chronic Pain and Brain Abnormalities by : Carl Y. Saab
Download or read book Chronic Pain and Brain Abnormalities written by Carl Y. Saab and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is only natural for someone in pain to attend to the body part that hurts. Yet this book tells the story of persistent pain having negative effects on brain function. The contributors, all leading experts in their respective fields of pain electrophysiology, brain imaging, and animal models of pain, strive to synthesize compelling and, in some ways, connected hypotheses with regard to pain-related changes in the brain. Together, they contribute their clinical, academic, and theoretical expertise in a comprehensive overview that attempts to define the broader philosophical context of pain (disentangling sensical from nonsensical claims), list the changes known to take place in the brains of individuals with chronic pain and animal models of pain, address the possible causes and mechanisms underlying these changes, and detail the techniques and analytical methods at our disposal to "visualize" and study these changes. - Philosophical and social concepts of pain; testimonials of chronic-pain patients - Clinical data from pain patients' brains - Advances in noninvasive brain imaging for pain patients - Combining theoretical and empirical approaches to the analysis of pain-related brain function - Manipulation of brain function in animal models - Emerging neurotechnology principles for pain diagnostics and therapeutics
Book Synopsis The Brain and Pain by : Richard Ambron
Download or read book The Brain and Pain written by Richard Ambron and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain is an inevitable part of existence, but severe debilitating or chronic pain is a pathological condition that diminishes the quality of life. The Brain and Pain explores the present and future of pain management, providing a comprehensive understanding based on the latest discoveries from many branches of neuroscience. Richard Ambron—the former director of a neuroscience lab that conducted leading research in this field—explains the science of how and why we feel pain. He describes how the nervous system and brain process information that leads to the experience of pain, detailing the cellular and molecular functions that are responsible for the initial perceptions of an injury. He discusses how pharmacological agents such as opiates affect the duration and intensity of pain. Ambron examines new evidence showing that discrete circuits in the brain modulate the experience of pain in response to a placebo, fear, anxiety, belief, or other circumstances, as well as how pain can be relieved by activating these circuits using mindfulness training and other nonpharmacological treatments. The book also evaluates the prospects of procedures such as deep brain stimulation and optogenetics. Current and thorough, The Brain and Pain will be invaluable for a range of people seeking to understand their options for treatment as well as students in neuroscience and medicine.
Book Synopsis The Brain's Way of Healing by : Norman Doidge
Download or read book The Brain's Way of Healing written by Norman Doidge and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The New York Times–bestselling author of The Brain That Changes Itself presents astounding advances in the treatment of brain injury and illness. Now in an updated and expanded paperback edition. Winner of the 2015 Gold Nautilus Book Award in Science & Cosmology In his groundbreaking work The Brain That Changes Itself, Norman Doidge introduced readers to neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change its own structure and function in response to activity and mental experience. Now his revolutionary new book shows how the amazing process of neuroplastic healing really works. The Brain’s Way of Healing describes natural, noninvasive avenues into the brain provided by the energy around us—in light, sound, vibration, and movement—that can awaken the brain’s own healing capacities without producing unpleasant side effects. Doidge explores cases where patients alleviated chronic pain; recovered from debilitating strokes, brain injuries, and learning disorders; overcame attention deficit and learning disorders; and found relief from symptoms of autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral palsy. And we learn how to vastly reduce the risk of dementia, with simple approaches anyone can use. For centuries it was believed that the brain’s complexity prevented recovery from damage or disease. The Brain’s Way of Healing shows that this very sophistication is the source of a unique kind of healing. As he did so lucidly in The Brain That Changes Itself, Doidge uses stories to present cutting-edge science with practical real-world applications, and principles that everyone can apply to improve their brain’s performance and health.

Book excerpt: If you have chronic pain and you are wondering if this book, as reviewed on ABC TV's Catalyst program, could be helpful to you, try answering the following questions. Over the last month or so how often have you: 1. Used pain killers to do something you know will stir up your pain? 2. Done an activity until it is finished (regardless of pain) then rested? 3. Found that pain is interfering with your sleep, work, sport and social activities? 4. Had one or more long rest periods during the day due to pain? 5. Had upsetting thoughts when your pain gets worse (like "I can't go on"; "it's killing me")? 6. Been concerned that your doctors have missed something? 7. Been told to 'live with the pain' but not shown how to do it? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then Manage Your Pain will help to improve your life.

Download or read book Explain Pain written by David S Butler and published by Noigroup Publications. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine an orchestra in your brain. It plays all kinds of harmonious melodies, then pain comes along and the different sections of the orchestra are reduced to a few pain tunes. All pain is real. And for many people it is a debilitating part of everyday life. It is now known that understanding more about why things hurt can actually help people to overcome their pain. Recent advances in fields such as neurophysiology, brain imaging, immunology, psychology and cellular biology have provided an explanatory platform from which to explore pain. In everyday language accompanied by quirky illustrations, Explain Pain discusses how pain responses are produced by the brain: how responses to injury from the autonomic motor and immune systems in your body contribute to pain, and why pain can persist after tissues have had plenty of time to heal. Explain Pain aims to give clinicians and people in pain the power to challenge pain and to consider new models for viewing what happens during pain. Once they have learnt about the processes involved they can follow a scientific route to recovery. The Authors: Dr Lorimer Moseley is Professor of Clinical Neurosciences and the Inaugural Chair in Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia, Adelaide, where he leads research groups at Body in Mind as well as with Neuroscience Research Australia in Sydney. Dr David Butler is an international freelance educator, author and director of the Neuro Orthopaedic Institute, based in Adelaide, Australia. Both authors continue to publish and present widely.
Book Synopsis Neural Correlates of Pain and Its Associated Clinical and Psychological Correlates in the Dynamic Pain Connectome in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis by : Kasey Sarah Hemington
Download or read book Neural Correlates of Pain and Its Associated Clinical and Psychological Correlates in the Dynamic Pain Connectome in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis written by Kasey Sarah Hemington and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic pain is a major public health issue. Despite its prevalence, the brain and behavioural mechanisms underlying chronic pain are not well understood, hampering effective treatment. Both individual factors (such as how we adapt in response to stressors), and brain function contribute to variability in pain perception. Abnormalities in brain and behaviour may indicate (mal)adaptive response or functioning in chronic pain patients. The overall goal of this thesis is to elucidate brain and behavioral mechanisms involved in pain. I first explore brain communication within and between networks of the dynamic pain connectome (default mode network; DMN, salience network; SN, sensorimotor network; SMN) that reflect chronic pain symptoms. Second, I examine how resilience - an individual's ability to adapt well in response to stress - contributes to individual differences in pain perception. Finally, I investigate the intersection of brain communication and resilience and how this relationship is altered in chronic pain. My participants included healthy controls and patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) experiencing chronic pain. Participants underwent a resting state fMRI scan and psychophysical testing, and completed questionnaires probing resilience and other factors. I found that 1) AS patients exhibit abnormal, heightened DMN-SN cross-network functional connectivity, 2) cross-network connectivity between the DMN, SN, SMN, and descending pain system tracks AS pain-related outcomes, 3) resilience, anxiety, and their interaction predict pain-related affect in response to experimental pain stimuli, 4) AS patients reporting high pain intensity and disease activity are less resilient, 5) Chronic pain intensity is related to (heightened) DMN - SMN cross network connectivity, and 6) within-DMN connectivity tracks resilience in healthy individuals and patients reporting minimal pain. This thesis demonstrates that AS patients have chronic pain-related abnormalities between brain networks of the dynamic pain connectome, and that resilience plays a role in the pain experience and its representation in the brain.

Book Synopsis Chronic Pain and Addiction by : Michael R. Clark
Download or read book Chronic Pain and Addiction written by Michael R. Clark and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between chronic pain and addiction Patients with chronic pain understandably seek relief from their distress and discomfort, but many medications that alleviate pain are potentially addictive, and most chronic pain conditions only have a temporary response to opiate analgesic drugs. This volume reviews the fundamental topics that underlie the complex relationships of this controversial domain. The authors review behavioral models and practical methods for understanding and treating chronic pain and addiction including methods to formulate patients with complex comorbidity and screen patients with chronic pain for addictive liability. Finally, the authors describe the current findings from clinical and basic science that illuminate the role of opiates, cannabinoids and ketamine in the treatment of chronic pain. Up to date and comprehensive, this book is relevant to all professionals engaged in the care of patients with chronic pain or addiction and all others interested in these contemporary issues, particularly non-clinicians seeking clarity in the controversy over the best approach to patients with chronic pain.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

Book excerpt: Neuroengineering or neural engineering is a field within biomedical engineering. It uses engineering techniques to repair, enhance, replace, understand or exploit the properties of neural systems. An important objective of this field is the augmentation and restoration of human function through direct interactions between artificial devices and the nervous system. Research is being conducted to develop an understanding of the coding and processing of information in the motor and sensory systems, how such processing is altered in the pathological state and how this can be manipulated using interactions with neuroprosthetics and brain-computer interfaces. The scope of neuroengineering is wide with applications in repair and rehabilitation, and neuromodulation. Neuroengineering and rehabilitation applies the principles of engineering and neuroscience for investigating the peripheral and central nervous system function. This can help in developing solutions for problems related to brain damage and brain malfunction. This book contains some path-breaking studies in neuroengineering and rehabilitation. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
