Simultaneous Tracking of Multiple Nociceptive Thresholds: a Simulation and Human Subject Study
نویسنده
چکیده
were compared in a small preliminary psychophysical study (N=6). A two minute cold pressor test was applied as nociceptive conditioning stimulus (e.g. [2]). Electrocutaneous stimulation [3] was used for nociceptive detection threshold tracking before, during and after the conditioning stimulus. The local ethics committee approved all experiment procedures and consent was obtained from all subjects. Human subject study: methods

Differentiating Nociceptive Mechanisms Using Electrocutaneous Detection Thresholds
Chronic pain after surgery is a frequent problem and difficult to treat. Patients at risk are not identified until early treatment is no longer effective. Persisting and chronic pain can be the result of the malfunctioning of nociceptive mechanisms; both ascending and descending pathways can, individually, attribute to chronic pain development [1]. Pain thresholds measured before and after surg...
متن کاملA Novel Sampling Approach in GNSS-RO Receivers with Open Loop Tracking Method
Propagation of radio occultation (RO) signals through the lower troposphere results in high phase acceleration and low signal to noise ratio signal. The excess Doppler estimation accuracy in lower troposphere is very important in receiving RO signals which can be estimated by sliding window spectral analysis. To do this, various frequency estimation methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT can be adopt...
متن کاملCapsaicin (8%) Patch Increases Multiple Electrical Nociceptive Perception Thresholds in Healthy Human Subjects
Background: Pre-operative nociceptive thresholds are able to predict patients susceptible to developing post-operative chronic pain. Thresholds are dependent on stimulus properties (i.e. pulsewidth (PW), number of pulses (NoP), and inter-pulse interval (IPI)) and are related to different mechanisms in the nociceptive system. Measuring multiple thresholds enables a detailed observation of periph...
متن کاملMultiple Target Tracking With a 2-D Radar Using the JPDAF Algorithm and Combined Motion Model
Multiple target tracking (MTT) is taken into account as one of the most important topics in tracking targets with radars. In this paper, the MTT problem is used for estimating the position of multiple targets when a 2-D radar is employed to gather measurements. To do so, the Joint Probabilistic Data Association Filter (JPDAF) approach is applied to tracking the position of multiple targets. To ...
متن کاملPain by Association? Experimental Modulation of Human Pain Thresholds Using Classical Conditioning.
UNLABELLED A classical conditioning framework is often used for clinical reasoning about pain that persists after tissue healing. However, experimental studies demonstrating classically conditioned pain in humans are lacking. The current study tested whether non-nociceptive somatosensory stimuli can come to modulate pain thresholds after being paired with painful nociceptive stimuli in healthy ...
