Motility and Visceral Sensation
Aims: Dyschesia can be provoked by inappropriate defecation movements. The aim of this prospective study was to demonstrate dysfunction of the anal sphincter and/or the musculus (m.) puborectalis in patients with dyschesia using anorectal endosonography. Methods: Twenty consecutive patients with a medical history of dyschesia and a control group of 20 healthy subjects underwent linear anorectal...
متن کاملCortical processing of human somatic and visceral sensation.
Somatic sensation can be localized precisely, whereas localization of visceral sensation is vague, possibly reflecting differences in the pattern of somatic and visceral input to the cerebral cortex. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to study the cortical processing of sensation arising from the proximal (somatic) and distal (visceral) esophagus in six healthy male subjects. Esophag...
متن کاملAbdominal visceral pain: clinical aspect* Dor visceral abdominal: aspectos clínicos
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Abdomen is the most frequent site for acute or chronic painful syndromes, for referred pain from distant structures or for pain caused by systemic injuries. Abdominal visceral pain is induced by hollow viscera or parenchymal viscera walls stretching or by peritoneal stretching. Complex diagnosis and treatment have motivated this study. Patients with chronic abdominal ...
متن کاملVISCERAL PERCEPTION Serotonergic modulation of visceral sensation: upper gastrointestinal tract
Agents that modify serotonergic function have therapeutic potential for the treatment of visceral hypersensitivity, either through a direct effect on perception or through modulation of visceral tone or motility. Administration of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors reduces oesophageal sensitivity to distension but not gastric sensitivity to distension. 5-HT ligands may also influence gastr...
متن کاملVISCERAL PERCEPTION Serotonergic modulation of visceral sensation: lower gut
The role of 5-HT agents in the modulation of lower gastrointestinal function is discussed. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are of potential benefit in functional gastrointestinal diseases although formal evidence is lacking. Novel pharmacological approaches include 5-HT3 antagonists and 5-HT4 agonists. These pharmacological classes have shown beneficial effects on a global efficacy end ...
