Virtual reality improves embodiment and neuropathic pain caused by spinal cord injury

Olaf Blanke, Roberta Ronchi, Marco Solcà, Estelle Palluel, Polona Pozeg

Objective: To investigate changes in body ownership and chronic neuropathic pain in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) using multisensory own body illusions and virtual reality (VR). Methods: Twenty patients with SCI with paraplegia and 20 healthy cont ...

Pain reduction due to novel sensory-motor training in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome I – A pilot study

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Anne-Christine Schmid

Background and aims Patients suffering from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) of the upper limb show a changed cortical representation of the affected hand. The lip area invades the former hand area contralateral to the affected hand. This change in co ...

Active pain coping is associated with the response in real-time fMRI neurofeedback during pain

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Kirsten Emmert

Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt-fMRI) neurofeedback is used as a tool to gain voluntary control of activity in various brain regions. Little emphasis has been put on the influence of cognitive and personality traits on neurofeedback eff ...

Chronic low back pain patients walk with locally altered spinal kinematics

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Guillaume Christe

Various studies have reported alterations of spinal kinematics in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) during gait. However, while recent findings stressed the importance of multi-segment analysis, most of prior gait studies modelled the lumbar spine ...

Increasing upper limb training intensity in chronic stroke using embodied virtual reality: a pilot study

Olaf Blanke, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Andrea Serino, Gangadhar Garipelli, Thomas Schmidlin, Odile Hélène Chevalley

Background: Technology-mediated neurorehabilitation is suggested to enhance training intensity and therefore functional gains. Here, we used a novel virtual reality (VR) system for task-specific upper extremity training after stroke. The system offers inte ...

Electrically Assisted Movement Therapy in Chronic Stroke Patients With Severe Upper Limb Paresis: A Pilot, Single-Blind, Randomized Crossover Study

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Silvio Ionta, Andrea Biasiucci, Andrea Maesani, Stephanie Clarke

Objective To evaluate the effects of electrically assisted movement therapy (EAMT) in which patients use functional electrical stimulation, modulated by a custom device controlled through the patient's unaffected hand, to produce or assist task-specific up ...

Designing Safer Analgesics via mu-Opioid Receptor Pathways

Shuguang Yuan, Jianing Li

Pain is both a major clinical and economic problem, affecting more people than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. While a variety of prescribed or over-the-counter (OTC) medications are available for pain management, opioid medications, especial ...

Cortico-Cerebellar Structural Connectivity Is Related to Residual Motor Output in Chronic Stroke

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Philipp Johannes Koch

Functional imaging studies have argued that interactions between cortical motor areas and the cerebellum are relevant for motor output and recovery processes after stroke. However, the impact of the underlying structural connections is poorly understood. T ...
