Academic Editor: Patrick W. Stroman Received: 31 August 2015 / Accepted: 9 November 2015 / Published: 17 November 2015 Abstract: Particularly with the fundamental works of the Leipzig school of experimental psychophysiology (between the 1850s and 1880s), the modern neurosciences witnessed an increasing interest in attempts to objectify “pain” as a bodily signal and physiological value. This development has led to refined psychological test repertoires and new clinical measurement techniques, which became progressively paired with imaging approaches and sophisticated theories about neuropathological pain etiology. With the advent of electroencephalography since the middle of the 20th century, and through the use of brain stimulation technologies and modern neuroimaging, the chosen scientific route towards an ever more refined “objectification” of pain phenomena took firm root in Western medicine. This article provides a broad overview of landmark events and key imaging technologies, which represent the long developmental path of a field that could be called “algesiogenic pathology.” Keywords: pain; history of medicine; Leipzig; Montreal; New York; nineteenth century; precursors to functional neuroimaging of pain; twentieth century “The past of a present-day science is not the same thing as that science in the past.” (Georges Canguilhem) [1] 1.

Methods : We conducted database search in Pubmed, NDSL, and EMBASE up to January 2021. Included studies were classified as depression-like behavior observed in pain model, pain-like behavior observed in depression model, and pain and depression comorbidity model. The results of pain- and depression-like behaviors, the changes of neurobiological mechanisms, and the treatment methods such as drugs, natural substance-derived chemicals, or acupuncture were analyzed. Results : We included 124 studies (81 studies in depression-like behavior observed in pain model, 19 studies in pain-like behavior observed in depression model, and 24 studies in pain and depression comorbidity model). Pain and depression comorbidity animal models were induced using various methods by drugs or surgery. Von frey test, a method for evaluating mechanical allodynia was the most commonly used for measuring pain-like behavior and the forced swimming test was the most commonly used for measuring depression-likes behavior.

  • Advances in Spinal Cord Stimulation
    From DEPT OF CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden ADVANCES IN SPINAL CORD STIMULATION ENHANCEMENT OF EFFICACY, IMPROVED SURGICAL TECHNIQUE AND A NEW INDICATION Göran Lind Stockholm 2012 All previously published papers were reproduced with permission from the publisher. Published by Karolinska Institutet. Printed by Larserics Digital Print AB, Bromma © Göran Lind, 2012 ISBN 978-91-7457-938-3 ABSTRACT Introduction and aim: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been used for treatment of otherwise therapy-resistant chronic neuropathic pain for about four decades. However, 30-40 % of the patients do not benefit from SCS, despite careful case selection and technical advances. In search of ways to improve the outcome mechanisms underlying the pain relieving effect of SCS have been extensively explored. Experimental findings suggest a possibility to enhance the effect of SCS by concomitant intrathecal (i.t.) administration of pharmaceuticals, such as baclofen, clonidine and adenosine. Animal research has indicated that hypersensitivity to colonic dilatation can be attenuated by SCS. This finding, as well as related clinical observations, forms a basis for the possibility of treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with SCS. Implantation of an SCS system with a plate electrode requires extensive surgery. This can be painful and cumbersome for the patient, since finding an optimal electrode position demands patient cooperation with reporting of stimulation evoked sensations. Aims of the thesis were to study: 1) if co-administration of baclofen (Study I and III), clonidine (Study III) or adenosine (Study I) can enhance the effect of SCS, 2) if long-term i.t. administration of a drug will continue to support the effect of SCS over time (Study II), 3) if implantation of plate electrodes can be performed in spinal anesthesia, retaining the possibility for the patient to feel and report stimulation evoked paresthesias and 4) if SCS can be used as a treatment option for IBS, otherwise resistant to therapy.

  • Fibromyalgia and Diffuse Myalgia
    RHEUMATOLOGY 1522–5720/05 $15.00 + .00 FIBROMYALGIA AND DIFFUSE MYALGIA James M. Gill, MD, MPH, and Anna Quisel, MD PREVALENCE, PRESENTATION, AND PROGRESSION OF THE PATIENT WITH FIBROMYALGIA Chronic pain is one of the most common complaints encountered by primary care clinicians. Often, patients present not with well localized pain but with diffuse and nonspecific myalgias. Fibromyalgia is the most common etiology for this type of pain. In community-based studies, 2% [1] and 1.2% to 6.2% of school-age children screened positive for fibromyalgia [2–4]. Women and girls are at higher risk than males, and risk increases with age, peaking between 55 and 79 years [1,5]. Persons suffering from fibromyalgia most commonly complain of widespread pain. The pain is usually bilateral and is usually worse in the neck and trunk [6]. Additional symptoms include fatigue, waking unrefreshed, morning stiffness, paresthesias, and headaches [6–12]. Compared with patients with other rheumatologic conditions, persons with fibromyalgia more often suffer from comorbid conditions [13], including chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, irritable bladder symptoms, temporomandibular joint syn- drome, myofascial pain syndrome, restless leg syndrome, and affective disorders [13–15]. Fibromyalgia can cause significant morbidity [1,16,17]. Patients with fibromyalgia require an average of 2.7 drugs at any time for fibromyalgia- related symptoms and have an average of 10 outpatient visits per year, with one hospitalization every 3 years [13].

  • INVESTIGATING the TRANSITION from CHRONIC LOW BACK OR NECK PAIN to WIDESPREAD PAIN and FIBROMYLGIA by Lindsay Lancaster Kindler
    INVESTIGATING THE TRANSITION FROM CHRONIC LOW BACK OR NECK PAIN TO WIDESPREAD PAIN AND FIBROMYLGIA By Lindsay Lancaster Kindler, MSN, RN, CNS A Dissertation Presented to Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 14, 2009 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation research was supported by a National Institute of Nursing Research Institutional National Service Research Award (5 T32 NR007061-15), a National Institute of Nursing Research Individual National Service Research Award (1 F31 NR010301-01), the Oregon Health & Sciences University Dean’s Award for Doctoral Dissertation, the Sigma Theta Tau Beta Psi Research Award, and a University Club Foundation Fellowship Award. The generous funding provided by these institutions enabled the participants of this study to be compensated for their time and energy and allowed me to express my appreciation to several individuals who assisted with testing a subset of these participants for fibromyalgia. This funding also allowed me to present my research twelve times at various regional, national, and international conferences. Equally as important, this financial support paid for necessary research materials and services such as printing and mailing study surveys and invitation letters. Without the support provided to me by these considerate institutions, this research would not have been possible. Lastly, the generous award from the University Club Foundation will help me move into the next phase of my research career; a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Florida. Although I alone will be receiving this doctoral degree, it should really include the names of the many individuals who made this journey possible.
