    Cor-Kinetic info snacks EP 8 - Nociplastic pain with Morton Hoegh

    Join Morton & Ben as they chat about the complex and confusing world of nocicplastic pain Nociplastic pain is......  Pain that arises from altered nociception despite no clear evidence of actual or threatened tissue damage causing the activation of peripheral nociceptors or evidence for disease or lesion of the somatosensory system causing the pain. Morton & Ben discuss..... Whats the difference between a pain descriptor and a pain mechanism? Why does the term nociplastic pain exist? What was the need for it?What mechanisms might underpin nociplastic pain? What treatments might help nocicplastic pain? Should it be a focus of treatment? About Morton.....

    Cor-Kinetic info snacks Ep 7 - Neuroplastic pain

    Join Ben as he dives into the world of neuroplastic pain!  "Neuroplastic pain is a type of chronic pain that occurs when the brain misinterprets safe signals from the body as dangerous. It's not imaginary, but it can be treated psychologically" Ben asks....... Can we really say that pain is from the brain simply because of the absence of structural issues? Is FMRI more reliable at diagnosing the pain source than MRI? Can neuroplastic pain rule out nociplastic pain & associated nociception?
