  11. Emotional experience: Pain • IASP definition of pain: An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage. Merskey H, Albe-Fessard D, Bonica JJ, Carmon A, Dubner R, Kerr FWL, Lindblom U, Mumford JM, Nathan PW, Noordenbos W, Pagni CA, Renaer MJ, Sternbach RA, Sunderland S (1979) Pain terms: a list with definitions and notes on usage. Recommended by the IASP subcommittee on taxonomy. Pain 6:249-252.

  12. Sensory signal processing: Nociception Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952) defined nociceptors as sense organs that respond to noxious stimuli; he defined noxious stimuli as those that either threaten or actually produce damage. IASP definition of nociception: The neural processes of encoding and processing noxious stimuli. Loeser JD, Treede RD (2008) The Kyoto protocol of IASP Basic Pain Terminology. Pain 137: 473–477

Long-term potentiation in the nociceptive system Perceptual LTP lasts for several hours after single HFS Perceptual LTP is reversible within a day Static mechanical hyperalgesia to punctate probes after HFS (100 Hz, 5 x 1 s) Klein T, Magerl W, Treede RD (2006) Journal of Neurophysiology 96(6):3551-3555.

  25. Nociceptive signal processing in the central nervous system • HT and WDR-neurons • spatial and intensity coding in separate channels? • central sensitization (NMDA-R? NK1-R?) • long-term potentiation for about one day

  30. Endogenous pain control • Gate control theory (Aß fibers): localized effects • Long-term depression (Aδ and C fibers): localized effects • Brainstem pain inhibition (e.g. DNIC): widespread effects • Cortical pain inhibition (via brainstem): widespread effects? • Cortical pain inhibition (intracortical): localized effects?

  34. Plasticity of the nociceptive system • Peripheral sensitization following injury leads to heat hyperalgesia at the site of injury (primary hyperalgesia) • Central sensitization following injury leads to pinprick hyperalgesia adjacent to the site of injury (secondary hyperalgesia) Heat hyperalgesia: predominantly peripheral sensitization Dynamic mechanical allodynia: central sensitization Pinprick hyperalgesia: predominantly central sensitization Cold hyperalgesia and hyperalgesia to blunt pressure: unknown

  35. Neuronal Mechanisms of Pain Rolf-Detlef Treede, Chair of Neurophysiology, CBTM, Medical Faculty Mannheim, Heidelberg University • Pain: result of network activity in nociceptive system • Peripheral encoding and central processing • Short-term plasticity in acute pain • Clinical assessment of pain: ask the patient • Clinical assessment of nociception: sensory examination
