Brain sensory network activity underlies reduced nociceptive initiated and nociplastic pain via acupuncture in fibromyalgia
Communications medicine ·doi:10.1038/s43856-025-01280-0

BACKGROUND: Chronic pain may involve both nociceptive pain driven by peripheral tissue damage and nociplastic pain reflecting central nervous system dysregulation, as in fibromyalgia. Electroacupuncture has been shown to modulate these path…

Large-scale momentary brain co-activation patterns are associated with hyperalgesia and mediate focal neurochemistry and cross-network functional connectivity in fibromyalgia
Pain ·doi:10.1097/j.pain.0000000000002973

Fibromyalgia has been characterized by augmented cross-network functional communication between the brain's sensorimotor, default mode, and attentional (salience/ventral and dorsal) networks. However, the underlying mechanisms of these aber…

Neurobiology and long-term impact of bladder-filling pain in humans: a Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) research network study
Pain ·doi:10.1097/j.pain.0000000000002944

Pain with bladder filling remains an unexplained clinical presentation with limited treatment options. Here, we aim to establish the clinical significance of bladder filling pain using a standardized test and the associated neural signature…
