Abstract:

This thesis focusses on chronic pain, pain sensitivity, depression, and anxiety in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The thesis includes details of three interrelated sub-studies: Study 1: An investigation into the associations between pain pressure thresholds (PPTs) and self-reported pain, depression, anxiety, and gender in knee OA; Study 2: An investigation into the inter-rater reliability of pressure algometry Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST); and Study 3: Rasch analysis of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory short form (STAI-SF).

Abstract:

Palpation, a standard procedure in the diagnostic process of muscular pain conditions – myalgia, aims to provoke a muscular pain response. The origin of pain elicited by palpation is not fully understood. There is also a possibility that the pressure elicit response from mechanoreceptors in skin, sub mucosal tissue or periosteum, which may affect the validity of the method. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical anesthesia on pressure pain thresholds at masseter, temporal and thumb muscle sites in healthy individuals. Twenty symptom-free subjects (ten males/ ten females) m

Abstract:

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability and is often accompanied with a back-related leg pain (around 60%), where those with radiating pain show worse overall clinical outcomes. Previous studies comparing these two groups have involved individuals with chronic LBP. It is not known if subjects who currently have LBP differ in pain sensitivity from those who have currently LBP accompanied with pain radiation to lower limbs.

Abstract:

Background: Palpation is an examination technique used to diagnose and treat myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and fibromyalgia (FM). Currently, there is no validated technique for classifying the results. A valid and reliable pressure pain threshold scale (PPTS) may provide a means for clinicians to grade, document, and report findings. The purpose of this dissertation was to validate a PPTS in patients diagnosed with MPS and FM. Design and Methods: An observational study.

Abstract:

Pain and movement are intimately connected and nearly universal human experiences. However, our understanding of the extent, significance, and mechanisms of pain-movement relationships is limited. While pain is a normal, protective response to injury and potentially harmful stimuli, prolonged or dysfunctional neuromuscular adaptions in response to pain can contribute to a variety of pain conditions. Alternatively, movement (in the form of global physical activity, individual exercise programs, and/or specific motor learning/functional tasks) is often prescribed to help decrease pain and improv

Abstract:

Greater trochanteric pain (GTP) is a regional pain syndrome characterized by lateral hip pain and tenderness. Its incidence after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is variable. Bursal inflammation, degenerative changes of the attachment of the gluteal muscles, direct operative trauma and biomechanical disturbance of the operated hip have been discussed as being related to GTP. The diagnosis is purely clinical because radiological and laboratory investigations show no definite pathology.

Abstract:

Algometers are devices that can be used to identify the pressure and/or force eliciting a pressure-pain threshold. It has been noted in pressure-pain threshold studies that the rate at which manual force is applied should be consistent to provide the greatest reliability. This study tested the reliability and construct validity of an algometer (1000-Hz sampling rate) by manually applying pressure on a force plate (500-Hz sampling rate): 10 sets of 5 applications to 80 N and 1 set of 5 applications to each force level: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, and 110 N.

High-velocity, low amplitude manipulation is commonly advocated by manual therapists for the treatment of low back pain (LBP), however there is little evidence to support its efficacy. This study examined the immediate effects of a single manipulation intervention on pressure pain thresholds (PPT) in the lumbar spine in an asymptomatic population. Sixty-four asymptomatic participants (45 female, 19 male, aged 18-39) were recruited from an osteopathic student population. Participants were screened by palpation for the lumbar spinous process most sensitive to manual pressure, which was marked wi

Abstract:

Muscle energy technique (MET) is commonly used by osteopaths and other manual therapists in the treatment of spinal and joint pain, but there has been little investigation of its effectiveness on pain reduction, particularly in the lumbar region. The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of a single application of MET on pressure pain thresholds (PPT) in the lumbar spine in an asymptomatic population. Fifty-nine asymptomatic volunteers (40 female, 19 male) were recruited from the Victoria University student population. The lumbar spinous process reported as most sensitive t

Abstract:

Mobilization techniques are commonly employed by manual therapists to treat spinal pain or spinal dysfunction. Many authors postulate different mechanisms by which mobilization techniques can produce positive outcomes involving the sympathetic nervous system, however supporting evidence remains scarce.

University of Technology Sydney. Faculty of Science.<br>𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱: During the past decades, there has been a surge in prescribing opioids for pain related conditions, the “opioid epidemic”. It is critical for researchers and clinicians to explore other non-pharmacological approaches to manage pain instead of relying on opioid analgesics. Acupuncture could be an effective tool to modulate pain. Since 1999, studies on the effect of acupuncture on pressure pain threshold (PPT), at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), have been conducted.

Abstract:

The term "joint centration" is recently perceived primarily in its biomechanical context. This paper suggests a possible neurophysiological point of view and examines the effect of centered or decentered position on pressure pain treshold (PPT) of three muscles (m. temporalis, m. tibialis anterior, m. interosseus dorsalis I) in sitting and lying position, researched on healthy volunteers. PPT was measured in four randomly ordered positions with 49 people (21 women, 28 men). Significantly higher PPT was detected in all three muscles (p=0,001; 0,0016; 0,00009).
