}  Galen (AD 129– c. 200/ c. 216) }  injuries (breach of continuity) were the only cause of pain

}  Ibn Sina (Latin name – Avicenna) (AD 980 – 1037) }  true cause of pain was a change of the physical condition

(temperament change) of the organ whether there was an injury present or not

}  Both Galen and Ibn Sina believed that the brain was the principal organ for perception of pain

}  Galen identified three conditions for pain perception:

the organ to receive impression, a connecting passageway and an organisational centre

}  Implications of Cartesian Model }  Direct link between the amount of tissue damage and the

level of pain experienced, in other words, the more damage incurred, the greater the pain. (unidimensional)

}  Pain is consequently considered to be either strictly

physical or strictly psychological.

}  Doctors attempted to distinguish between true physical and psychologically derived pain.

}  When pain symptoms were difficult to treat or even

understand, the question arose as to whether the pain actually was caused by a psychological condition.

Central Sensitization

Central Sensitization is hyperexcitability of the central nervous system following a peripheral stimulus. (Woolf – 1983)

Central Sensitization

}  “Central sensitization represented a condition where input in one set of nociceptor sensory fibers (the conditioning input) amplified subsequent responses to other non-stimulated non-nociceptor or nociceptor fibers”

of pain. Pain 2011 Mar;152(3 Suppl):S2-15.

Central Sensitization

}  “In consequence pain could in these circumstances become the equivalent of an illusory perception, a sensation that has the exact quality of that evoked by a real noxious stimulus but which occurs in the absence of such an injurious stimulus. This does not mean that the pain is not real, just that it is not activated by noxious stimuli.”

Central Sensitization “This change is protective, because it helps healing by limiting use of an injured body part until the injury is fully repaired. Central sensitization becomes pathological, however, if inflammation persists, as with rheumatoid arthritis, in which no healing occurs, and in situations in which central sensitization becomes autonomous and is maintained in the absence of active peripheral pathology.” Latremoliere A, Woolf CJ.

Role of glia in pathological pain processing }  Collectively, glia greatly outnumber neurons in the

CNS. }  There are various cellular subtypes, such as

astrocytes, resident microglia, perivascular microglia and oligodendrocytes.

}  Oligodendrocytes are best known for their role in myelinating axons in the CNS, are now emerging as modulators of neuronal function.

}  Modulating functions of astrocytes, resident microglia and perivascular microglia.
