The Ising model applied on chronification of pain
This is a hypothesis‐article suggesting an entirely new framework for understanding and treating longstanding pain. Most medical and psychological models are described with boxes and arrows. Such models are of little clinical and explanatory use when describing the phenomenon of chronification of pain due to unknown causes. To date no models that have been provided ‐ and tested in a scientific satisfactory way ‐ lays out a plan for specific assessment due to a specific causal explanation, and in the end serves the clinicians, patients and researcher with tools on how to address the specific pain condition to every in...

Electrical Intramuscular Stimulation in Osteoarthritis Enhances the Inhibitory Systems in Pain Processing at Cortical and Cortical Spinal System
ConclusionsThe serum BDNF revealed an inverse relationship with PPT independent of the treatment group. These results suggest that a‐EIMS enhanced the corticospinal inhibitory systems in cortical and infracortical pain processing sites most likely by bottom‐up regulation mechanisms.

Profiles of Urine Drug Test in Clinical Pain Patients vs Pain Research Study Subjects
ConclusionThese results support previous findings that PUD is a common finding in clinical pain patients, particularly in those prescribed opioid therapy, and we suggest that UDT be used as routine screening testing in pain research studies. (Source: Pain Medicine)
