19
Q

Nociceptive neurons at periphery of receptive field; Increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons; Reduced threshold to stimulation.(Primary hyperalgesia)

A

Peripheral sensitization

20
Q

Increased pain response to a painful stimulus

A

Hyperalgesia

21
Q

Nociceptive neurons in the central nervous system; Increased responsiveness to normal or subthreshold afferent input; may also result from dysfunctional endogenous pain control (Primary and secondary hyperalgesia) (Allodynia)

A

Central sensitization

22
Q

Pain resulting from a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain

A

Allodynia

23
Q

Myelinated (fast) non-nociceptive afferent fiber can activate inhibitory interneurons modulating nociceptive transmission•Reason you instinctively wave, hold, clench your fingers when they burn•Reason why TENS helps relieve pain

A

Revised gate control theory

24
Q

The threshold for nociception can be raised when another noxious stimulus is provoked in another area.“Pain inhibits pain”

A

Diffuse noxious inhibitor control

25
Q

Psychological; Leads to release of endogenous analgesic substances

A

Placebo effect

26
Q

What are the 3 different ways to categorize pain?

A

neurophysiology, structures involved, and timing

27
Q

Pain resulting from damage or threatened damage to non-neural tissue; Activation of nociceptors; Sharp

A

Nociceptive pain

28
Q

Pain resulting from the presence of a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system

A

Neuropathic pain

29
Q

Pain that arises from altered nociception •Does not satisfy the definitions of nociceptive or neuropathic pain•It is possible for a patient to present with nociceptive and this pain at the same time

A

nociplastic pain

30
Q

Craniofacial pain that is characterized by throbbing, wakes patient, and autonomic and systemic signs

A

neurovascular

31
Q

Craniofacial pain that is characterized by pressure, deep pain, muscle tenderness, and dysfunction

A

musculoskeleton

32
Q

Craniofacial pain that is characterized by sensory dysfunction, dermatomal pain, and burning or electric pain

A

neuropathic

33
Q

Pain with close temporal relationship to an stimulus, injury, disease; Tends to respond to treatment in a linear dose-dependent fashion

A

Acute Pain

34
Q

Pain that has lasted >3 months•Does not typically respond to treatment in in a linear dose-dependent fashion•Presence of other/multiple ongoing pains is a predictor for transition from acute to chronic•More influence of psychosocial factors•More difficult to treat

A

Chronic Pain

35
Q

What are the 3 type of heterotopic pain?

A

Central, projected, and referred pain

36
Q

Anxiety•Major depression•Personality disorders•Pain distress are the most common _______ disorders

A

psychosocial disorders

37
Q

Perceived control•Self-efficacy•Catastrophic thinking•Hypervigilance•Fear avoidance are ____ for psychosocial disorders

A

coping mechanisms

38
Q

Pain intensity, Pain distress, Pain-related interference (Functional limitation, disability), and Oral Habits are ____ of pain

A

assessments

39
Q

Can you treat site of pain in homotopic pain?

A

Yes

40
Q

Can you treat site of pain in heterotopic pain?

A

No

41
Q

____ pain: site = source

A

homotopic pain

42
Q

___ pain: site does not equal source

A

heterotopic pain

43
Q

Heterotopic pain where Source is central but perceived peripherally

A

Central Pain

44
Q

Heterotopic pain where Pain follows same nerve distribution as primary source•Dermatome or motor distribution•Hyperalgesia may be present

A

Projected pain

45
Q

Heterotopic pain where Pain occurs in different nerve than primary source and is spontaneous (non-provoked)•Sensitization of interneurons –central sensitization•Not aggravated by palpation•Does not respond to anesthesia at site of pain –must block primary site•Typically does not cross midline (only if generated at midline)•Refers upward: cervical to trigeminal, mandibular to maxillary

A

referred pain
