The effect of pain on cognitive function: a review of clinical and preclinical research.
(2011)
Cognitive impairment is commonly associated with the pain experience. This impairment represents a major obstacle to daily activities and rehabilitation, especially in the chronic pain population. Here we review clinical ...
Validation of an air-puff passive-avoidance paradigm for assessment of aversive learning and memory in rat models of chronic pain
(Elsevier, 2011-11)
Chronic pain is associated with cognitive deficits. Considerable overlap in brain regions involved in pain and aversion suggests that aversive learning and memory may be affected during chronic pain. Passive-avoidance ...
Impaired cued and spatial learning performance and altered cannabinoid CB1 receptor functionality in the substantia nigra in a rat model of diabetic neuropathy
(Elsevier, 2016-01-13)
Diabetes, and associated diabetic neuropathic pain, impact negatively on cognitive function. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated neuropathic pain-related behaviour and ...
Cognitive impairment in patients with chronic neuropathic or radicular pain: An interaction of pain and age
(Frontiers Media, 2017-06-13)
A growing body of empirical research has confirmed an association between chronic pain and cognitive dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to determine whether cognitive function is affected in patients with a ...
Impaired recognition memory and cognitive flexibility in the rat L5-L6 spinal nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain
(De Gruyter, 2016-01-01)
Background and aims: Although neuropathic pain is known to negatively affect cognition, the neural mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Chronic pain is associated with changes in synaptic plasticity in the brain which ...
