---|---|---|---|---|
Acute pain is experienced by normal, intact subjects due to impulses carried over these fibers.
C-fibers and A-delta fibers
|
What is the Nociceptive neurons respond in this way to injury and inflammation
Peripheral sensitization
|
The ability of the nervous system to learn and set down memory
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors
|
What is Norepinephrine and the Autonomic Nervous System
Sympathetic Division
|
A non-specific effect of an intervention attributable to its symbolic significance or the overall context of the intervention
EffectPlacebo Effect
|
All somatosensory information travels through this portion of the brain on the way to the sensory cortex
Thalamus
|
This differentiates Nociception from pain
Pain requires consciousness because it is an experience
|
Central sensitization occurs primarily in this region of the central nervous system
The dorsal horn of the spinal cord
|
An emotional response to pain that causes physiological and psychological dysfunction
Stress
|
What is Natural history of the condition being studied, regression to the mean, placebo effect and chance in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial
The Control Group
|
What is the involuntary motor portion of the nervous system involved with body homeostasis.
Autonomic nervous system
|
An increased response to a stimulus that is usually noxious
Hyperalgesia
|
Central nervous system nociceptive neuron that responds to low level stimuli as well as intermediate and high level (noxious) stimuli
Second order wide dynamic range (WDR) nociceptive neurons
|
A stress response to chronic pain can alter these
Behaviors and activities – mood, sleep, emotion, appetite, pleasurable activity
|
What is not predictable in a study utilizing placebos
The individual’s response
|
What are These peripheral organs mediate stretch and force on muscles and tendons
Golgi tendon and muscle spindles
|
The perception of pain evoked by a stimulus that is normally not painful
Allodynia
|
The brain stem area most active in the descending pain modulatory system
Periaqueductal Gray Area
|
A prolonged stress response in a person with low back pain may cause this
Increased muscular tension, hyperactivity
|
What is Yin-yang symbolic qualities
Heat-passiveness and cold-tranquility
|
The nervous system has this primary excitatory neurotransmitter
Glutamate
|
The ability of the nervous system to learn and set down memory
Plasticity
|
Activation of the peripheral nociceptors that causes release of inflammatory cytokines in response to injury.
Peripheral Neurogenic Inflammatory Sensitization
|
The neuroendocrine response of the adrenal gland to pain and stress.
High levels of cortisol

What is very difficult to perform and interpret in a clinical study of acupuncture
The sham effect
