Stimulation2
  • Stimulation of the motor cortex for the treatment of certain forms of refractory neurogenic pain has attracted much interest in recent years. (bmj.com)
  • Tens influences pain through the electrical stimulation of low-threshold A-beta cutaneous fibers. (biomedcentral.com)
Subjective1
Epidemic1
  • Eventually, susceptible numbers become low enough to prevent epidemic growth or, in other words, the herd immunity threshold (HIT) is reached. (medrxiv.org)
Frequency1
  • Our findings support a role of the cardiac ANS in brain connectivity during pain, linking functional connections of the dACC and PAG with measurements of low frequency (LF)-HRV. (frontiersin.org)
Palliative care1
Opioid2
  • With the opioid crisis, the quest to understand the biology of pain and explore new ways to treat it has taken on fresh urgency. (nationalgeographic.com)
  • Reducing risks associated with opioid pain therapy. (cdc.gov)
Psychiatry1
  • New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, in collaboration with Glasgow University, has found that teenagers who have self-harmed five or more times in their life have a significantly higher threshold for pain compared to adolescents that have not. (medicalxpress.com)
Neurons1
  • Here, we showed that GM-CSF promotes bone cancer-associated pain by enhancing excitability of DRG neurons via the Jak2-Stat3-mediated upregulation of expression of nociceptor-specific voltage-gated sodium channels. (iasp-pain.org)
Exposure2
  • The odor threshold of arsine is 10-fold greater than the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) permissible exposure limit. (cdc.gov)
  • The AEGLs are threshold exposure limit values for the general public applicable to emergency exposure periods ranging from 10 minutes to 8 hours. (cdc.gov)
Establish1
  • According to Veronica Hanson, owner of Nomad Veronica, LLC , who helps moms become minimalists, it's a good idea to set a "price pain threshold," or a dollar amount that you establish where your efforts are worth the time it takes to sell the item. (gobankingrates.com)
Modulation1
  • This is likely underpinned by a substantial overlap between brain areas of the central autonomic network and areas involved in pain processing and modulation. (frontiersin.org)
Reduction1
  • But, we do know clients who experience a reduction in pain and discomfort after only a few carefully constructed classes. (themovementrefinery.com.au)
