Treatment-related changes in brain activation in patients with fibromyalgia syndromeMartin Diers
Department of Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience, Central Institute of Mental Health, Medical Faculty Mannheim, University of Heidelberg, J 5, 68159, Mannheim, Germany
Exp Brain Res 218:619-28. 2012..Future studies should compare responders and non-responders for differential treatment effects and examine in more detail the mechanisms underlying these changes...
[Operant and cognitive behavioural treatments in chronic pain]Martin Diers
Institut für Neuropsychologie und Klinische Psychologie, Zentralinstitut fur Seelische Gesundheit, Mannheim
Ther Umsch 68:507-11. 2011..Operant and cognitive behavioural treatments were shown effective in treating chronic pain. Combinations with pharmacological agents have to be examined in future research...
Mirrored, imagined and executed movements differentially activate sensorimotor cortex in amputees with and without phantom limb painMartin Diers
Department of Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience, Central Institute of Mental Health, University of Heidelberg, D 68159 Mannheim, Germany
Pain 149:296-304. 2010..Further research must identify the causal mechanisms related to mirror treatment, imagined movements or movements of the other hand and associated changes in pain perception...
Differential central pain processing following repetitive intramuscular proton/prostaglandin E? injections in female fibromyalgia patients and healthy controlsMartin Diers
Department of Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience, Central Institute of Mental Health, University of Heidelberg, Mannheim, Germany
Eur J Pain 15:716-23. 2011..While the etiology of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) remains unclear, it is assumed that both peripheral and central components are involved...
Pain ratings and somatosensory evoked responses to repetitive intramuscular and intracutaneous stimulation in fibromyalgia syndromeMartin Diers
Department of Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience, Central Institute of Mental Health, University of Heidelberg, Mannheim, Germany
J Clin Neurophysiol 25:153-60. 2008..These results indicate lower pain thresholds in the fibromyalgia syndrome patients after electrical stimulation and a higher N80 amplitude both indicative of enhanced sensory processing in this group...
Central processing of acute muscle pain in chronic low back pain patients: an EEG mapping studyMartin Diers
Department of Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Heidelberg Central Institute of Mental Health, Mannheim, Germany
J Clin Neurophysiol 24:76-83. 2007..The lower P260 component in the patients may be explained in terms of tonic pain inhibiting phasic pain or may be related to the affective distress observed in this patient group...
Brain correlates of stress-induced analgesiaPinar Yilmaz
Department of Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience, Central Institute of Mental Health, University of Heidelberg, Mannheim, Germany
Pain 151:522-9. 2010..SIA seems to activate similar brain networks as placebo analgesia or analgesia mediated by diffuse noxious inhibitory controls and involved sensory, affective and cognitive modulatory circuits...
Enhanced stress analgesia to a cognitively demanding task in patients with posttraumatic stress disorderSlawomira J Diener
Department of Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience, Central Institute of Mental Health, University of Heidelberg, Mannheim, Germany
J Affect Disord 136:1247-51. 2012..In posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) exaggerated stress-induced analgesia to trauma reminders was proposed. The present study investigated whether enhanced analgesia occurs in response to a trauma-unrelated cognitive stressor in PTSD...

Department of Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience, Central Institute of Mental Health, University of Heidelberg, Mannheim, Germany
NeuroRehabilitation 25:19-27. 2009..Further research must elucidate the mechanisms of these plastic changes and relate them to disorders and treatments...
Peripheral and electrocortical responses to painful and non-painful stimulation in chronic pain patients, tension headache patients and healthy controlsHerta Flor
Department of Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Heidelberg, Central Institute of Mental Health, Square J5, D 68159 Mannheim, Germany
Neurosci Lett 361:147-50. 2004..The observed lack of habituation may contribute to the persistence of chronic pain...
