Psychological and neural mechanisms of the affective dimension of pain. (2000, background): “The demonstrate reliably different relations to no- implications for the future (2, 4).”
Core outcome measures for chronic pain clinical trials: IMMPACT recommendations (2003, background): “Assessment of pain affect or unpleasantness is supported by the evidence that the affective component of pain can be empirically distinguished from pain intensity and may be differentially responsive to treatments (Jensen, 2003; Price, 1999).”
Psychological factors in chronic pain: evolution and revolution. (2002, unknown): “A number of investigators have described models that attempt to integrate physiological, psychophysiological, psychological, and behavioral factors to explain symptoms, perception of pain, disability, and response to treatment (e.g., Price, 1999; Turk & Flor, 1999).”
Neural correlates of interindividual differences in the subjective experience of pain (2003, background): “probable least-squares difference (PLSD) tests confirmed that pain intensity ratings were significantly different between subgroups (main effect of sensitivity, F(2,14) 42.”
How do we perceive the pain of others? A window into the neural processes involved in empathy (2005, background): “, 1999), the perception and processing of a painful stimulation is known to come from a combination of perceptual/ sensory and emotional/affective components (Ploghaus et al., 2003; Price, 1999).”
Why does social exclusion hurt? The relationship between social and physical pain. (2005, background): “In order to describe how social experience may have come to be mediated by feelings of pain, it is important to note that the experience of pain consists of two separate components—pain sensation and pain affect (Melzack & Wall, 1996; Price, 1999; Rainville, 2002).”
Placebo and Opioid Analgesia-- Imaging a Shared Neuronal Network (2002, background): “The placebo analgesic effect is dependent on complex cognitive information processing, including analysis of threat in a given context, expectations of treatment outcome, and desire for relief (1, 3, 4).”
The Neural Substrate of Human Empathy: Effects of Perspective-taking and Cognitive Appraisal (2007, background): “The affective experience of pain signals an aversive state and motivates behavior to terminate, reduce, or escape exposure to the source of the noxious stimulation (Price, 1999).”
Pain and motor control of the lumbopelvic region: effect and possible mechanisms. (2003, background): “The ACC has long been thought to be important in motor responses and directly projects to motor and supplementary motor areas [80].”
Brain mechanisms of pain affect and pain modulation. (2002, background): “The modulatory effects of hypnotic analgesia on both ACC activity [40] and spinal nociceptive reflexes [2] is consistent with the possibility that descending modulatory mechanisms may be triggered from the ACC, together with the possibility that these mechanisms may, in turn, affect both pain intens”
Social Support and Money as Pain Management Mechanisms (2008, background): “The experience of pain has two separate components—pain sensation and pain affect (Melzack & Wall, 1996; Price, 1999; Rainville, 2002).”
