چکیده

 Overview, Informed Consent & Eligibility Determination (Health Status Screening) -Two testing sessions were completed on separate days -Testing session and test order were counterbalanced -Informed consent obtained at beginning of first testing session  Life Events Checklist Administered -Self-report measure that indicated the number of traumatic events an individual has experienced in their lifetime  NFR Threshold Testing -Sensors and stimulating electrode applied to the left ankle over the sural nerve -Suprathreshold intensity assessed used during NFR magnitude testing  Heat Pain Threshold Testing Heat probe placed on the left volar forearm Pain threshold was defined as the temperature (in °C) at which point the individual reported they first felt the probe become painful (the average temperature of 4 trials)  Heat Pain Tolerance Testing Heat probe placed on left volar forearm Pain tolerance was defined as the temperature (in °C) at which point the individual reported they could no longer tolerate the pain from the heat (the average temperature of 4 trials) Introduction

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...

Reliability 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...

Using normalized EMG to define the nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) threshold: further evaluation of standardized NFR scoring criteria.

The nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) has been used as a psychophysiological tool to study spinal nociceptive processes in numerous clinical and experimental studies. Despite widespread use of the NFR, few attempts have been made to empirically test and compare different scoring criteria to detect the presence/absence of the reflex. The present studies were conducted to address this issue. Study...

Defining the nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) threshold in human participants: a comparison of different scoring criteria.

Despite the widespread use of the nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) paradigm in clinical and experimental pain research, there is currently no consensus on how best to define NFR threshold. Accordingly, the present studies were designed to assess the accuracy and reliability of different NFR threshold scoring criteria. Study 1 compared 13 scoring criteria in their accuracy for identifying the pr...

Is blood glucose associated with descending modulation of spinal nociception as measured by the nociceptive flexion reflex?

OBJECTIVES Prior research has shown a relationship between blood glucose levels and some forms of self-regulation (eg, executive function), with low blood glucose levels associated with impaired self-regulation. Further, engagement in self-regulation tasks depletes blood glucose. Given these relationships, the present study examined whether blood glucose is associated with another form of self-...
