Autonomic Regulation in Musculoskeletal Pain
نویسندگان
چکیده
A large number of people suffer from musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), including regional pain in the neck-shoulder region, lower back and the upper extremities, or more widespread pain, e.g., fibromyalgia (Lindell et al. 2000; Côté et al. 2009). The 12-month prevalence for neck pain typically ranges between 30% and 50% in the general population (Hogg-Johnson et al. 2009). Chronic pain is reported by 19% of the adult European population (Breivik et al. 2006), affecting more females than men.

Effects of heart rate variability biofeedback in subjects with stress-related chronic neck pain: a pilot study.
Recent studies focusing on autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunctions, together with theoretical pathophysiological models of musculoskeletal disorders, indicate the involvement of ANS regulation in development and maintenance of chronic muscle pain. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback (BF) in increasing HRV and reducing the symptoms of diffe...

متن کاملBiological stress systems, adverse life events and the onset of chronic multisite musculoskeletal pain: a 6-year cohort study.
OBJECTIVES Dysregulated biological stress systems and adverse life events, independently and in interaction, have been hypothesised to initiate chronic pain. We examine whether (1) function of biological stress systems, (2) adverse life events, and (3) their combination predict the onset of chronic multisite musculoskeletal pain. METHODS Subjects (n=2039) of the Netherlands Study of Depressio...
متن کاملHeart rate variability in sciatica patients referred to spine surgery: a case control study
BACKGROUND A chronic pain condition may result in altered autonomic nervous system regulation in various patient populations. We evaluated whether autonomic regulation differs between sciatica patients referred to spine surgery and age-matched healthy controls analyzed with heart rate variability techniques (HRV). METHODS HRV of patients (n = 201) and healthy controls (n = 138) were measured ...
متن کاملFactors explaining variance in perceived pain in women with fibromyalgia
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that a substantial proportion of the subjectively experienced variance in pain in fibromyalgia patients would be explained by psychological factors alone, but that a combined model, including neuroendocrine and autonomic factors, would give the most parsimonious explanation of variance in pain. METHODS Psychometric assessment included McGill Pain Questionnaire, Gene...
