A

TRUE

39
Q

T/F With nociception pain sensation is not necessarily implied

A

True

40
Q

Increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons to their normal input, and/or recruitment of a response to normally subthreshold inputs.

A

SENSITIZATION

41
Q

T/F Clinically, sensitization may only be inferred indirectly from phenomena such as hyperalgesia or allodynia.

A

True

42
Q

Increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons to their normal input, and/or recruitment of a response to normally subthreshold inputs.

A

SENSITIZATION

43
Q

T/F Clinically, sensitization may only be inferred indirectly from phenomena such as hyperalgesia or allodynia

A

True

44
Q

SENSITIZATION has which two components?

A

Peripheral and Central

45
Q

Increased responsiveness and reduced threshold of nociceptive neurons in the periphery to the stimulation of their receptive fields

A

PERIPHERAL

46
Q

Increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons in the central nervous system to their normal or subthreshold afferent input.

A

CENTRAL

47
Q

These two things are INFERRING CS?

A

ALLODYNIA AND HYERPALGESIA

48
Q

Pain due to a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain.

A

ALLODYNIA

49
Q

Increased pain from a stimulus that normally provokes pain.

A

HYERPALGESIA

50
Q

________ may be seen after different types of somatosensory stimuli applied to many different tissues.

A

Allodynia

51
Q

reflects increased pain on suprathreshold stimulation. This is a clinical term that does not imply a mechanism. For pain evoked by stimuli that usually are not painful, the term allodynia is preferred, while hyperalgesia is more appropriately used for cases with an increased response at a normal threshold, or at an increased threshold, e.G., In patients with neuropathy.

A

HYERPALGESIA

52
Q

T/F.Clinical descriptors are NOT types of pain?

A

TRUE

53
Q

T/F The descriptors such as nociceptive, nociplastic, neuropathic followed by the word pain is somewhat problematic because they sound like types of pain but they are NOT?

A

TRUE

54
Q

Pain that arises from actual or threatened damage to non-neural tissue and is due to the activation of nociceptors.

A

NOCICEPTIVE (hypothesis of somatic mechanism) PAIN

Highlights the conflation between pain and nociception.
The deficit is with nociception, not pain.

NEUROPATHIC PAIN EXAMPLES

65
Q

More commonly called a “pinched nerve“, symptoms occur when a nerve is compressed or irritated where it branches away from the spinal cord.

A

RADICULOPATHY

66
Q

This may cause pain, muscle weakness, numbness and tingling that radiates into the limbs and extremities

A

RADICULOPATHY

67
Q

Neuropathic pain may be present due to:

* Mechanical compression of the nerve root (may not be visible through imaging)

A

LUMBAR RADICULOPATHY
AKA SCIATICA

69

A

NOCIPLASTIC (hypothesis of somatic mechanism) PAIN

70
Q

___________ is based … on the inference that
altered central nociceptive function may be responsible for the biomedical dimension of the experience of pain.

A

Nociplastic

71
