We are happy to announce that our team’s project has just been published in the renowned journal The Journal of Pain!
Experimentally induced pain and paresthesia respond differently to parameter changes of cuff-based compression in pain-free young individuals
Aim of the study
The main aim of our experiment was to:
1.To characterise (psychophysically) pain and paresthesia induced by stimuli of different time parameters and intensities.
2.To demonstrate the reliability of experimental evocation of these two symptoms using cuff allometry.
Why this is important.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant therapeutic challenge, often co-occurring with other neurological symptoms such as paresthesia. Our study, using a human-based model (cuff algometry), aims to further our understanding of the relationship between pain and paresthesia.
A better understanding of these mechanisms may in the future contribute to the development of more effective treatments for neuropathic pain, improving the quality of life for many patients.
