Second pain event related potentials to argon laser stimuli: recording and quantification.
نویسنده
چکیده
A non-invasive technique for quantification of argon laser induced burning second pain (C-fibre) is suggested. Using frequency analysis event related responses to burning pain can be detected in the EEG interval 1-2 seconds after laser stimulation. When the laser stimulus induced a burning pain perception, the power from 0.5-2.5 Hz of the EEG interval 1-2 seconds after stimulation differed significantly from the power calculated from the same time interval when no burning pain was perceived.

First pain event related potentials to argon laser stimuli: recording and quantification.
Argon laser induced event related responses to pricking pain (first pain) were recorded. The different recording parameters (recording site, filter setting, averaging technique), quantification parameters (amplitude, power) and variability between successive recordings were studied. The single responses were large, and averaging of 16-32 single trials was sufficient to obtain reliable averaged ...
متن کاملA Review on Experimental Assessments of Pain Threshold in Healthy Human Subjects
A B S T R A C T There are three types of nerve fibers that are involved in the transmission of pain stimuli: C fibers (slower fibers) for thermal, mechanical and chemical stimuli, A-delta fibers for thermal or mechanical stimuli and A-beta fibers for touch stimuli. Clinically, this is crucial in making an accurate assessment of the pain level experienced by a suffering patient, in indicating th...
متن کاملArgon laser induced single cortical responses: a new method to quantify pre-pain and pain perceptions.
The shape (amplitude and latency) of single cortical responses to argon laser stimulation was found to match six perceptual classes: three pre-pain and three pain. The amplitude of the pain related single cortical responses correlated with the perceived feeling of pain. Easy detectable responses were obtained because habituation to the stimuli was reduced and a high degree of attention was give...
متن کاملSeeing the pain of others while being in pain: A laser-evoked potentials study
Seeing actions, emotions and feelings of other individuals may activate resonant mechanisms that allow the empathic understanding of others' states. Being crucial for implementing pro-social behaviors, empathy is considered as inherently altruistic. Here we explored whether the personal experience of pain make individuals less inclined to share others' pain. We used laser-evoked potentials (LEP...
