Improving individual measurement of postoperative pain: the pain trajectoryC Richard Chapman
Department of Anesthesiology, School of Medicine, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
J Pain 12:257-62. 2011..The acute pain trajectory quantifies rate of pain resolution as well as pain intensity. It affords more precise measurement than conventional pain assessment and can identify abnormal postoperative pain resolution...
Investigating dose-dependent effects of placebo analgesia: a psychophysiological approachYoshio Nakamura
Department of Anesthesiology, Pain Research Center, Utah Center for Exploring Mind Body Interactions UCEMBI, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, UT 84108, USA
Pain 153:227-37. 2012..Unexpectedly, uncued expectation led to a slightly larger PA than did cued expectation. The study provided clear evidence that PA can occur in a "dose"-dependent manner, mediated by the levels of expectancy for pain relief...
