1
Q
Pain Definition:
A
An appraisal made by your protection system based on the neural representation of threat/danger
2
Q
Mature Organism Model (MOM):
A
- We experience pain because it helped us to survive and passing on genes, we evolved into pain avoiding creatures
3
Q
MOM Dimensions of Pain:
A
- Sensory
- Cognitive
- Affective
4
Q
Neuromatrix (Pain Matrix):
A
- “The amazing interconnected brain”, more than one area of the brain is involved in pain
5
Q
Neuromatrix - Key Concepts:
A
- Input not mandatory
- Role of the neural networks
- The self
- Genetic componenent
6
Q
Neurosignature/Neurotag:
A
- Pain determined by the synaptic arrangement of multiple centers in the brain (thalamocortical loops)
- Bracing or guarding based on the perception of pain
- “Nerves that fire together are wired together”
7
Q
Nociceptive Pain:
A
- “Normal pain”
- Short duration, well localized, easing and aggrieving factors, no electric qualities
8
Q
Neuropathic Pain:
A
- “Electric pain/nerve pain”
- At one location and travels along a dermatome or peripheral nerve pattern (sciatica and diabetic neuropathy)
- Takes longer to get to this point and longer to heal
9
Q
Central Sensitization:
A
- “Chronic pain/unexplainable pain”
- Pain has spread from original areas in areas in non-dermatomal pattern
- Pain intensity is out of proportion from original injury
10
Q
Biomedical Approach:
A
- Medical/Pharm treatments
- Anatomic education
- Emphasis on pain, not function
- Facilitating avoidance
11
Q
Biopsychosocial Approach:
A
- Emphasis on PNE, therapeutic alliance
- Focuses on catastrophizing, rumination, fear-avoidance, kinesiophobia, and deconditioning
12
Q
Allodynia:
A
- Pain evoked by normally benign stimulus such as cold, heat, or light touch
13
Q
Hyperalgesia:
A
- Increases in perception of pain elicited by noxious stimulus
14
Q
Secondary Hyperalgesia:
A
- Spread of pain beyond initial site of injury
15
Q
Locus of Control:
A
- A persons generalized attitude or belief regarding causality between own behavior and consequences
