Pain catastrophizing is related to temporal summation of pain but not temporal summation of the nociceptive flexion reflex.
Pain catastrophizing is associated with enhanced temporal summation of pain (TS-Pain). However, because prior studies have found that pain catastrophizing is not associated with a measure of spinal nociception (nociceptive flexion reflex [NFR] threshold), this association may not result from changes in spinal nociceptive processes. The goal of the present study in healthy participants was to ex...

متن کاملPain Catastrophizing is Not Associated With Spinal Nociceptive Processing in People With Chronic Widespread Pain
OBJECTIVES Pain catastrophizing has been associated with higher pain intensity, increased risk of developing chronic pain and poorer outcomes after treatment. Despite this, the mechanisms by which pain catastrophizing influences pain remain poorly understood. It has been hypothesized that pain catastrophizing may impair descending inhibition of spinal level nociception. The aims of this study w...
متن کاملDoes pain catastrophizing moderate the relationship between spinal nociceptive processes and pain sensitivity?
UNLABELLED Existing evidence indicates that pain catastrophizing is associated with enhanced pain reports and lower pain threshold/tolerance levels, but is not significantly related to nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) threshold in healthy and clinical pain samples. This suggests pain catastrophizing may modulate pain threshold at a supraspinal level without influencing descending modulation of ...
متن کاملReliability and validity of a brief method to assess nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) threshold.
UNLABELLED The nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) is a physiological tool to study spinal nociception. However, NFR assessment can take several minutes and expose participants to repeated suprathreshold stimulations. The 4 studies reported here assessed the reliability and validity of a brief method to assess NFR threshold that uses a single ascending series of stimulations (Peak 1 NFR), by compa...
