Increased Brain White Matter Axial Diffusivity Associated with Fatigue, Pain and Hyperalgesia in Gulf War Illness
BACKGROUND Gulf War exposures in 1990 and 1991 have caused 25% to 30% of deployed personnel to develop a syndrome of chronic fatigue, pain, hyperalgesia, cognitive and affective dysfunction. METHODS Gulf War veterans (n = 31) and sedentary veteran and civilian controls (n = 20) completed fMRI scans for diffusion tensor imaging. A combination of dolorimetry, subjective reports of pain and fati...
متن کاملHigher systolic blood pressure is associated with increased water diffusivity in normal-appearing white matter.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hypertension is associated with the development of white matter lesions in older people. Diffusion tensor MRI can detect subtle, previsible white matter damage, but relationships between diffusion tensor MRI parameters and blood pressure (BP) remain unclear. We examined correlations among mean diffusivity (MD), fractional anisotropy and BP in 45 men aged 71 to 76 years. ...
متن کاملPhantom limb pain.
Phantom pain is experienced by 60% to 80% of patients following limb amputation but is only severe in about 5% to 10% of cases. The mechanisms underlying pain in amputees are not fully understood, but factors in both the peripheral and central nervous system play a role. Treatment of phantom pain is not successful; a recent study on prevention of phantom pain showed negative results. The future...
متن کامل24 Phantom Limb Pain
OVERVIEW Phantom limb pain can be a devastating consequence of an amputation. It is often a chronic, disabling condition. This chapter reviews the etiology, pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of phantom limb pain and discusses known risk factors for this condition. Even though many physicians have been frustrated by the inability to control phantom limb pain, promising new therapies are...
متن کاملDealing with phantom limb pain after amputation.
Patients usually experience phantom limb pain after amputation but it may also occur following resection of other parts of the body, such as the breast and internal organs like the rectum. The causes are complex and patients require careful assessment to ensure they receive appropriate care. This article describes the causes of phantom limb pain and discusses assessment strategies.
