This latest edition provides a thorough overview of the neural mechanisms of pain. Relying on the latest basic and clinical research, a comprehensive approach to patient evaluation and current treatment strategies develop in this text. Subjects covering the sensory transmission system, pain modulation, and analgesic treatment modalities are discussed. Dozens of supplementary tables, figures, and illustrations summarize key information and further reinforce important clinical points.

This volume provides a comprehensive accounting of pain and its relation to neurology. It is dedicated entirely to the mechanisms and clinical aspects of the subject, and provides a wealth of information on the latest neurobiological and clinical data surrounding the topic. From discussions of the physiology and pathology of the pain pathways from signaling, via spinal cord and supraspinal processing to endogenous pain modulation, users will gain an invaluable reference that provides a new understanding of pain related topics, including cytokines, sex differences, and the autonomic nervous system. Practicing clinicians, internists, surgeons, and those in the fields of psychiatry and gerontology will gain a greater understanding of this challenging topic with chapters that deal extensively with peripheral and central pain conditions, including specific disorders such as fibromyalgia, whiplash, psychiatric diseases, dementia, and even cancer. In addition, treatments for neuropathic pain are also thoroughly presented and discussed. * A comprehensive guide to the topic of pain and its relation to neurology* Invaluable information on specific topics of interest, including discussions of pain and its implications for related diseases and conditions such as fibromyalgia, whiplash, and even psychiatric disorders* Treatment protocols for neuropathic pain and patient care

This volume represents edited material that was presented at a conference on brainstem modulation of spinal nociception held in Beaune, France during July, 1987. Pain Modulation, Volume 77 in the series Progress in Brain Research reviews, analyses and suggests new research strategies on several relevant topics including: the endogenous opioid peptides; sites of action of opiates; the role of biogenic animes and non-opioid peptides in analgesia; dorsal horn circuitry; behavioural factors in the activation of pain modulating networks and clinical studies of nociceptive modulation.

Pain is a highly subjective experience and not necessarily related linearily to a nociceptive input. It is influenced by pathological and genetic factors, and is further subject to a complex set of individual, contextual, and environmental variables. Emotional states are thereby associated with an intricate interplay of coordinated neurotransmitter systems that lead to endogenous pain modulation. Mu-opioidergic neurotransmission in emotional pain modulation is one of the key aspects of this thesis. The findings clearly demonstrate that pain is a dynamic experience, by which noxious stimuli are permanently modulated and re-evaluated within a broader context of the individual and its interaction with the environment. The acknowledgment of the organism as a unity, where mental phenomena cannot be separated from their physical consequences, shapes our understanding of 'bodily' and 'emotional' homeostasis. It should therefore be of great value for both the pharmacological care of pain patients and the individual and clinical management of other life's challenges.

There is good evidence that placebo and nocebo responses reflect more than a psychologic reappraisal of pain perception. In fact, pain perception is the endpoint of several endogenous pain inhibitory and facilitatory mechanisms that trigger descending pain modulation mechanisms to the spinal cord. Measuring the ability of placebo and nocebo to act on these mechanisms will demonstrate that their effects are not only a reinterpretation of higher centers of the same nociceptive signal, but are acting at the source of this signal at the spinal level. This information is important considering that the capacity to trigger endogenous pain modulation mechanisms is a good predictor of pain chronification. This chapter addresses the importance of psychologic factors on endogenous pain facilitatory and inhibitory mechanisms in the central nervous system, from the cortex to the spinal cord, and their role in treatments targeting the same mechanisms.

Within the past few years, it has become recognized that the immune system communicates to the brain. Substances released from activated immune cells (cytokines) stimulate peripheral nerves, thereby signaling the brain and spinal cord that infection/inflammation has occurred. Additionally, peripheral infection/inflammation leads to de novo synthesis and release of cytokines within the brain and spinal cord. Thus, cytokines effect neural activation both peripherally and centrally. Through this communication pathway, cytokines such as interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor markedly alter brain function, physiology and behavior. One important but underrecognized aspect of this communication is the dramatic impact that immune activation has on pain modulation. The purpose of this book is to examine, for the first time, immune-to-brain communication from the viewpoint of its effect on pain processing. It is aimed both at the basic scientist and health care providers, in order to clarify the major role that substances released by immune cells play in pain modulation. This book contains chapters contributed by all of the major laboratories focused on understanding how cytokines modulate pain. These chapters provide a unique vantage point from which to examine this question, as the summarized work ranges from evolutionary approaches across diverse species, to the basics of the immune response, to the effect of cytokines on peripheral and central nervous system sites, to therapeutic potential in humans.

Placebo analgesia is an illustrative example of the impact that psychological factors can have on the experience of pain. While this form of pain modulation is mediated by multiple neurobiological mechanisms, one influential explanation posits that a descending pain control system contributes to placebo effects in pain. Here, we first give an overview of descending pain control as established in animal studies, focusing on an opioid-dependent system that includes the periaqueductal gray (PAG) and rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) as core regions and controls nociceptive processing already at the level of the spinal cord. We then review functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) studies that provide evidence for an involvement of this system in placebo analgesia. Finally, we have a look at the role of the spinal cord in placebo analgesia, focusing on spinal fMRI studies.
