Sentence examples for stimulus pressure from inspiring English sources

Control group 1 served to compare brain response to a fixed mechanical stimulus pressure able to provoke severe pain in fibromyalgia patients.

For instance, the rate of increase of stimulus pressure, controlled by the operator, and patient distress were both shown to influence the pain threshold [ 24, 26].

The pain threshold pressure (PTP) is defined as the stimulus pressure that evokes a visually identifiable contraction of the abdominal wall.

Similar to the study described above [ 33], the amount of stimulus pressure needed to evoke the various subjective levels of pain was significantly lower in the patients; however, both patients and controls showed graded responses to stimulus pressure in regions involved in processing the sensory discriminative dimension of pain sensation, including contralateral (right) thalamus, SI and SII.

PPT measurements (i.e., mechanical pain sensitivity) is a more standardized way of determining muscle tenderness and concern the recognition of a new nociceptive stimulus (pressure) in painful or non-painful tissues.

In each scan the subjects received each of the four stimulus pressures three times in a random sequence.

In an attempt to image a hyperalgesic response to evoked pain, Grant and colleagues [ 35] used fMRI to compare the effects of multiple stimulus pressures delivered to the left thumb of 13 FM patients and 13 control subjects.

Specifically, we have shown there is a clear need for both stimuli (pressure) and response (deformation) to estimate parameters of the LV mechanical system.

The response properties to natural stimuli (pressure, heat, cold) for the different fiber types can be summarized as follows: Aβ-LTMRs had mechanical thresholds from 5 to 10 mN (mean 5.5 mN), while Aδ-LTMRs thresholds ranged from 1 to 5mN, with a mean of 2.3 mN.

Cerebral circulation is normally regulated by several complex mechanisms, such as metabolic stimuli, chemical stimuli, perfusion pressure, and neural stimuli [ 1].

When a trial was finished, recordings of the playback stimuli were made from the position of the frog to estimate the stimulus sound pressure levels experienced by the frog.
