A pinched nerve can cause pain, tingling, or numbness in its corresponding dermatome. As such, the location of the symptoms can help a doctor identify the affected nerve. The doctor then diagnoses ...

An international team of researchers has homed in on a specific brain wave measurement that can effectively predict a person’s pain sensitivity. The research suggests this tool could be used to ...

The research partners compared brain activation patterns and physiological metrics before, during and after VR experiences in 19 people experiencing chronic low back pain (CLBP). Nine participants ...

Machine learning then linked these electrical signals to the participants’ self-reported pain severity. From this, the researchers identified neural patterns that indicated whether the ...

Patients with more "typical" patterns on pain sketches have larger reductions in headache scores after migraine "trigger site" surgery, suggests a new study by Lisa Gfrerer, MD Ph.D. and William ...

This study has identified for the first time a potential underlying mechanism in the nervous system responsible for why people experience varying pain patterns with knee osteoarthritis.

The frequency of pain patterns at diagnosis and over time—and their relationship with inflammation—also represents a gap in our knowledge. EULAR—The European Alliance of Associations for ...

uncovered how specific patterns in brain activity can predict an individual's sensitivity to pain, expanding opportunities ...
