Karten in diesem Stapel (17)
- 1perirhipheral sensitizationa state of heightened sensitivity in which the threshold of activation of transducer receptors such as TRPV1 is reduced, and the excitability of the peripheral terminal membrane increases.
- 2peripersonal spacea representation of
the body and environment within grasp - 3Event-related magnetic field (ERP)Magnetic field recorded from EEG in response to a stimulus
- 4The salience of a given stimulusis defined as its ability to stand out relative to neighboring stimuli
- 5Pain matrixa network of cortical areas through which pain is generated from nociception
- 6Myofascial trigger pointalso known as trigger sites or muscle knots, are described as hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscle
- 7Heterosynaptic facilitationenhanced response in a post-synapse due to interaction between a few pre-synapses
- 8Homosynaptic facilitationincrease in response in one post-synapse due to stimulation of one pre-synpase
- 9Windup/ homosynaptic potentiationa progressively increasing output during the course of a train of identical stimuli (technically called homosynaptic potentiation)
- 10HyperalgesiaAn increased response to a stimulus which is normally painful.
- 11central sensitizationrefers to an increased sensitivity to pain in the central nervous system
- 12Peripheral Neuropathic PainPain initiated or caused by a primary lesion or dysfunction in the peripheral nervous system.
- 13Neuropathic PainPain initiated or caused by a primary lesion or dysfunction in the nervous system.
- 14AllodyniaPain due to a stimulus which does not normally provoke pain.
- 15NociceptorA receptor that detects and transduces a potentially injurious stimulus and/or a primary sensory neuron that is preferentially sensitive to a noxious stimulus.
- 16Noxious stimulusdamaging to normal tissues
- 17Define painAn unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage.
