“…As part of the maladaptive neuroplastic response to pain in endometriosis, P3a findings here may reflect similar recruitment of additional neural resources, particularly in relation to stimulus evaluation, attentional processing, and/or perhaps most of all, inhibitory demands (Bruin and Wijers, 2002;Donkers and Van Boxtel, 2004;Ramautar et al, 2004;Polich, 2007;Smith et al, 2008). Although there was no difference in task performance between groups that would reflect behavioral inhibition difficulties (e.g., commission errors), as with other studies (Glass et al, 2011;Veldhuijzen et al, 2012;Berryman et al, 2014;Masiliünas et al, 2017), P3a findings indicate that a wide range of neuronal substrates of inhibitory control are less active overall in women with endometriosis and CPP compared to HCs. No differences were noted for the non-target SW.…”

Endometriosis is a debilitating women's health condition and is the most common cause of chronic pelvic pain. Impaired cognitive control is common in chronic pain conditions, however, it has not yet been investigated in endometriosis. The aim of this study was to explore the neuronal correlates of cognitive control in women with endometriosis. Using a cross-sectional study design with data collected at a single time-point, event-related potentials were elicited during a cued continuous performance test from 20 women with endometriosis (mean age = 28.5 ± 5.2 years) and 20 age- and gender-matched controls (mean age = 28.5 ± 5.2 years). Event-related potential components were extracted and P3 component amplitudes were derived with temporal principal components analysis. Behavioral and ERP outcomes were compared between groups and subjective pain severity was correlated with ERP component amplitudes. No significant behavioral differences were seen in task performance between the groups (all p > 0.094). Target P3b (all p < 0.034) and SW (all p < 0.040), and non-target early P3a (eP3a; all p < 0.023) and late P3a (lP3a; all p < 0.035) amplitudes were smaller for the endometriosis compared to the healthy control group. Lower non-target eP3a (p < 0.001), lP3a (p = 0.013), and SW (p = 0.019) amplitudes were correlated with higher pain severity scores. Findings suggest that endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain is linked to alterations in stimulus-response processing and inhibitory control networks, but not impaired behavioral performance, due to compensatory neuroplastic changes in overlapping cognitive control and pain networks.

“…En segundo lugar, la diversidad de funciones ejecutivas dificulta establecer una relación unidimensional con el dolor, razón por la que parece oportuno optar por medidas ecológicas de las funciones ejecutivas que consideren a estas desde un punto de vista holístico. En tercer lugar, aunque no lo abordaremos aquí por exceder el propósito de este artículo, habría que tener en cuenta otras variables mediadoras, tales como la medicación o el sueño, a la hora de analizar los factores mediadores entre la severidad del autismo y la percepción del dolor (Masiliūnas et al, 2017).…”

Dolor en personas adultas con un trastorno del espectro del autismo (TEA) y comorbilidad: un análisis mediacional

The literature recently included sensory processing abnormalities (pain associated) in the diagnostic criteria for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is no standard method for evaluating sensory and pain abnormalities in individuals with ASD. Forty-six adults with ASD were enrolled in this study. We evaluated objective pain sensitivity by measuring the procedural and acute pain in several contexts. Then, we analyzed the correlation matrix and next we executed mediational analyzes. The correlation between perception of pain and clinical variables was significant. The comorbidity was the main factor in the mediation between the severity of autism and the intensity of pain. Our results suggest that our methodology can be used to assess pain sensitivity in individuals with ASD, and we confirmed the hypothesis that comorbidity is the main mediating factor between the severity of autism and the intensity of pain.

“…In most studies, participants with fibromyalgia been diagnosed prior to their recruitment [ 43 , 47 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 55 ]; the disease onset, when specified, is reported in Table 2 . Only one study [ 54 ] included subjects with generic chronic pain, nine of whom were indicated as having fibromyalgia according to criteria of the American College of Rheumatology Criteria for the Classification of Fibromyalgia [ 3 ]. In all cases presented in this review, an assessment of pain or its impact on the individual’s abilities or life was performed (see Table 2 ).…”

“…In all cases presented in this review, an assessment of pain or its impact on the individual’s abilities or life was performed (see Table 2 ). Four studies [ 49 , 51 , 52 , 54 ] adopted the visual analogue scale to measure the level of pain experienced by patients on a continuum from “none” to an “extreme amount of pain” [ 56 ]. A similar instrument, the numeric rating scale, was employed in two studies [ 47 , 50 ] to provide a measure of pain on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 represents “no pain” and 10 represents “the worst pain possible” [ 57 ].…”

Decision Making and Fibromyalgia: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Decision making (DM) is the ability to choose among multiple options, considering external and internal variables and identifying potential paths of action that need to be assessed. Some brain areas involved in decision making are also implicated in pain processing, such as in fibromyalgia (FM). FM is a syndrome characterized by chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain and cognitive difficulties. We conducted a systematic review with the aim of identifying articles that evaluated DM in people with fibromyalgia, highlighting the main assessment tools. This work was conducted according to the PRISMA statement by consulting six online databases and providing a quality assessment of each search that met the inclusion criteria. In line with the limited interest in this in the scientific landscape to date, we found nine studies that evaluated the performance of DM in patients with FM; furthermore, we discovered that only certain types of DM were tested. The importance of our work lies in shedding light on a cognitive ability that is often undervalued in the scientific landscape but essential in everyday life. This review can serve as a starting point for further studies to clarify the relationship between DM and FM, improving understanding of the topic.
