Animal studies have indicated that the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system is involved in central
pain modulation. In a recent positron emission tomography (PET) study, we demonstrated …

A group of European experts was commissioned to establish guidelines on the therapeutic
use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) from evidence published up until …

A group of European experts reappraised the guidelines on the therapeutic efficacy of repetitive
transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) previously published in 2014 [Lefaucheur et al.…

Our preliminary observations on a small group of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) patients
indicated a change in the non-nociceptive, tactile sensory function in BMS and provided …

Recent data from animal experiments suggest an important role for the basal ganglia in the
processing and sensorimotor gating of nociceptive information. However, very little is known …

Primary burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is severe, disabling and chronic intraoral pain condition
for which no local or systemic cause can be found and clinical examination is normal. It …

Background The authors report a positron emission tomography (PET) study on humans
with parallel exploration of the dose-dependent effects of an intravenous (propofol) and a …

To our knowledge, this is the first report on pain-related abnormalities of the eye blink reflex (BR)
in a clinical pain patient population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the …

We review evidence indicating that the striatum and striatal dopamine D2 receptors are
involved in the regulation of pain in humans. Painful stimulation produces an increase in …

One of the greatest challenges of modern neuroscience is to discover the neural mechanisms
of consciousness and to explain how they produce the conscious state. We sought the …
