The dynamics of possible markers of pain syndrome: pain pressure thresholds of intolerance (PTI) and natural antibodies to mediators of pain processing (nAbs) in blood serum at dorsalgia was studied. We have shown that most men and women had reduced PTIs. Night PTIs were lower than daytime PTIs regardless of the gender. The study of the content of nAbs to opioids and biogenic amines by ELISA have shown a prolonged maintenance of their elevated and high levels that could evoke long-term effect in pain chronization. Thus, the pressure algometry and ELISA of nAbs to pain processing mediators make it possible to assess the individual pain status objectively and, on this bases, to propose personal schemes of treatment.

Background: Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is a common overuse injury characterized by activity-induced pain along the distal medial tibial border. Current best practice includes rest and progressive resistance training. However, some patients with MTSS may be unable to tolerate the loading during exercise.

This study aimed to assess the immediate effects of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) on pain outcomes, measured using the visual analog scale (VAS) and pressure pain thresholds in a cohort of 55 participants experiencing chronic pain using a controlled, randomized trial with 55 participants allocated into 2 groups: 2 mA and 0.5 mA of tsDCS for 20 min. Anodal stimulation was applied on the 12th thoracic vertebra, with the cathode positioned on the 7th cervical vertebra.

Background: Down Syndrome (DS) is currently the most common chromosomal condition associated with intellectual disability in the global population and is characterized by a variety of additional clinical findings. Individuals with DS may exhibit altered perception and reaction to painful stimuli, which makes the diagnosis of pain in DS a challenge. This study aimed to evaluate the pressure pain threshold of the masticatory muscles and the reaction to social touch in individuals with DS compared to neurotypical individuals (NT).

Background/objectives: Cesarean section (C-section) scars can lead to chronic pain due to changes in tissue properties. Combining elastography and algometry can assess these scars comprehensively by identifying areas of increased rigidity and quantifying pain sensitivity. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of using elastography and algometry together to assess cesarean scar tissue, correlating tissue stiffness with pain thresholds for targeted pain management.

Backgrounds: We aim to evaluate changes in pressure pain sensitivity before and after cardiac surgery using topographical sensitivity maps utilizing a pressure algometer.
Methods: Pressure pain thresholds over 17 thoracic points and 4 distant pain-free points were assessed in 70 patients (women: 29, age: 67.5 years), before and at 1, 3, and 7 postoperative days.
