Maixner et al. observed that TMD patients have a significantly altered autonomic function compared with healthy controls at rest and in stressful situations [20].
The intravenous route was associated with increased odds of poor pain control at rest and on movement (OR = 2.279, p = .016, and OR = 5.393, p = .012) compared with other routes, including combinations of the intravenous and oral or epidural route.
PCEA provided better pain control at rest than the other two methods, whereas P.R.N.
Understanding the mechanisms of sympathetic activation in sleep apnoea requires detailed knowledge of the central and peripheral mechanisms underlying sympathetic control at rest and during hypoxia and hypercapnia.
In this study, we suspected that spinal stenosis may be associated with altered CSF dynamics and compared CSF flow velocities at the lumbosacral spinal level between patients with spinal stenosis and healthy controls, at rest and at claudication.
In a randomized study, use of a compression bandage was shown to improve pain control at rest at 8 h, and at 5, 6, and 8 h postoperatively with 90 degrees of knee flexion after TKA (Andersen et al. 2008a).
A possible effect of reduced parasympathetic control at rest would be the lack of buffering of blood pressure at the beginning of orthostatic stress, thereby leading to reduced orthostatic tolerance.
It is important to highlight that these results were restricted to the lesional temporal lobe and contradict those from a study showing an increase functional connectivity within the MTL when comparing epilepsy patients and healthy controls at rest (Liao et al. 2010).
The aims of the present study were therefore to (1) determine brain activity and activation differences between euthymic BD and controls, at rest (EEG band frequency analysis) and during an attentional task, a continuous performance task (EEG ERP wave component analysis).
All subjects rested in a room controlled at 45% ± 5% humidity and 21°C ± 2°C temperature for 20 minutes before assessment.
