| Question | Answer |
| can pain arise from within the CNS without input from the peripheral nociceptors (a) and what type of pain would be an example of this (b) ? | (a) yes (b) neuropathic pain |
| what activates nociceptive pain during surgery (a) and what can help minimise this? | (a) incisions cut through tissues activating mechanoreceptor activity (b) where possible use keyhole surgery and keep wound size minimal |
| what are the 2 types of nociceptive pain (a) and what type of tissue do they relate to? | (a) visceral or somatic (b) non- neural tissue |
| what is nociceptive pain (a) and what does it occur in response too (b)? | (a) pain that arises from the activation of peripheral nociceptors (free nerve endings) (b) in response to noxious stimuli |
| what is the definition of nociception (a) and what does nociception not equal (b)? | (a) the neural responses of encoding and processing noxious stimuli (b) nociception does not equal pain and pain does not equal nociception |
| what is the IASP definition of pain (a) and how many additional keynotes does it provide | (a) an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that, associated with actual or potential tissue damage (b) 6 |
| what is the role of inflammatory pain following surgery (a) and how can this be treated? | (a) a protective mechanism to help aid repair ??????? (b) NSAIDS are useful due to the high level of inflammation |
| What percentage of the cortex is responsive to nociceptive stimuli (a) and how dedicated are these regions to providing nociceptive specific processing | (a) approximately 15% (b) not very, these regions also carry information about any type of threat. |
| what are the two forms of pathological pain that can occur after surgery (a) what is responsible for generating them (b) | (a) neuropathic and nociplastic b) nociplastic pain - pain that persists after healing is complete ( also historically called dysfunctional pain) |
| What is the role of functional MRI (fMRI) in the understanding of pain (a) and what is it not good for (b)? | (a) it helps us recognize the brain's pain pathways (b) it cannot be used as a diagnostic test for pain |
