Fibromyalgia pain and its modulation by hypnotic and non‐hypnotic suggestion: An fMRI analysis

Pain and non-pain processing during hypnosis: A thulium-YAG event-related fMRI study

Retrieving autobiographical memories of painful events activates the anterior cingulate cortex and inferior frontal gyrus.

Dysfunctional pain modulation in somatoform pain disorder patients

Results suggest decreased cortical baseline arousal in somatoform pain disorder patients, which may point to an altered baseline activity, maybe characteristic for chronic somatoforms pain disorder.

Pain Response in Depersonalization: A Functional Imaging Study Using Hypnosis in Healthy Subjects

H-DP seems to be a promising tool for the investigation of psychological and biological mechanisms of self-inflicted injuries as well as the mind-body interplay within the realm of psychosomatic disorders.

Pain Perception and Hypnosis: Findings From Recent Functional Neuroimaging Studies

Functional neuroimaging studies support the clinical use of hypnosis in the management of pain conditions by identifying brain activation-deactivation patterns occurring in hypnosis-modulated pain conditions.

The brain areas identified are named pain representation, matrix, neuraxis, or signature, and largely include a set of cores sites: thalamus and primary somatic area (SI), second somatics area (SII), insular cortex (IC), prefrontal cortex (PFC), cingulate, and parietal cortices.

An fMRI Study Exploring the Overlap and Differences between Neural Representations of Physical and Recalled Pain

It is proposed that a trace of a recent nociceptive event can be used to create sensory-re-experiencing of pain that can be qualified in terms of intensity and vividness, and functional MRI results reveal that recalling a previous sensory experience activates an extensive network of classical pain processing structures except the contralateral posterior insular cortex.

Brain correlates of subjective reality of physically and psychologically induced pain.

Findings support the view that information about sensory-discriminative characteristics of pain contributes to the SRP, and suggest the medial prefrontal cortex is a likely area to contribute to such source monitoring.

Pain processing during three levels of noxious stimulation produces differential patterns of central activity

Cerebral Responses to Noxious Thermal Stimulation in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients and Normal Controls

Correlation of rCBF with subjective pain experience revealed similar responses across groups in the cerebellum, midbrain, thalamus, insula, lentiform nucleus, and midcingulate (area 24') cortex, which represented the majority of activations for this study and those recorded by other imaging studies of pain.

Does Anticipation of Pain Affect Cortical Nociceptive Systems?

FMRI results suggest that the activity of cortical nociceptive networks may be directly influenced by cognitive factors, and provide evidence for top-down mechanisms, triggered by anticipation, modulating cortical systems involved in sensory and affective components of pain even in the absence of actual noxious input.

An animal model for investigating stimulus-induced rCBF responses in the rat is developed and it is shown that there is a progressive and selective activation of somatosensory and limbic system structures in the brain and brainstem following the subcutaneous injection of formalin.

Cerebral responses to pain in patients with atypical facial pain measured by positron emission tomography.

The regional cerebral responses to non-painful and painful thermal stimuli in six female patients with atypical facial pain and six matched female controls were studied by taking serial measurements of regional blood flow by PET.

Pain affect encoded in human anterior cingulate but not somatosensory cortex.

These findings provide direct experimental evidence in humans linking frontal-lobe limbic activity with pain affect, as originally suggested by early clinical lesion studies.

Increased cerebral functional connectivity underlying the antinociceptive effects of hypnosis.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging evidence of augmented pain processing in fibromyalgia.

The hypothesis that FM is characterized by cortical or subcortical augmentation of pain processing is supported, because comparable subjectively painful conditions resulted in activation patterns that were similar in patients and controls, whereas similar pressures resulted in no common regions of activation and greater effects in patients.

Exploring the pain “neuromatrix”

There is scant evidence for any particular regional or circuit dysfunction during clinical pain, and to be clinically useful, functional imaging may have to step beyond the generalities of the neuromatrix.
