Brainstem Mechanisms of Pain Modulation: A within-Subjects 7T fMRI Study of Placebo Analgesic and Nocebo Hyperalgesic Responses

Lewis S. Crawford et al.

Summary: Perception of pain can be influenced by expectations and beliefs. This study used ultra-high-field fMRI to investigate the brainstem pathways involved in placebo analgesia and nocebo hyperalgesia, revealing differential activation of key pain modulatory nuclei during these phenomena.

Parallel cortical-brainstem pathways to attentional analgesia

Valeria Oliva et al.

Summary: Pain can be alleviated by shifting attention elsewhere, and the brainstem regions including locus coeruleus, rostral ventromedial medulla, and periaqueductal grey are involved in attentional analgesia. Functional interactions between these regions and the cortex modulate nociceptive input to reduce pain, particularly in situations requiring conflicting attentional demands.
