Q

Order of Transmisison for Dorsal column/medial lemniscus

A

Peripheral receptor (mechano & proprio) -> dorsal root ganglion -> dorsal root -> dorsal white column -> medulla -> cross over midline at gracilis & cuneatus -> medial lemniscus -> pons -> cerebellum -> midbrain -> thalamus (3rd) -> somatosensory motor cortex

Q

Paleothalamic and Neothalamic tract order

A

“slow pain” - peripheral sensory receptor -> laminae II & III (substantia gelatinosa, start of 2nd)) -> laminae I & II -> up lateral (pain & temp) -> medulla (medial lemniscus) -> pons -> cerebellum -> thalamus (3rd) -> somatosensory motor cortex

18
Q

Acetylcholine

A
  • transmits motor nerve impulse in PNS and CNS
19
Q

Enkephalins

A
  • Reduces pain perception by binding to pain receptor sites
20
Q

Norepinepherine

A
  • vasoconstriction

- underlies “fight or flight”

21
Q

Endorphins

A
  • morphine-like

- increases pain threshold by binding to receptor sites

22
Q

Serotonin

A
  • cause local vasodilation

- increase capillary permeabilities

23
Q

3 Pain Theories

A
  • Gate control
  • Central biasing theory
  • Endogenous opiates theory
24
Q

Gate control theory

A
  • ascending pain mechanism
  • located in substantia gelatinosa
  • faster impulses reach gate firs to inhibit slower pain impulses
  • activate more A-beta than C
25
Q

Gate Theory treatment

A
  • TENS -> activate larger neurons
  • Deep/superficial heat -> pain relief
  • joint mobilizations (gr I & II) -> stim. mechano to block pain
26
Q

Decending pain control mechanism

A
  • Periaquaductal Gray Area (PGA in midbrain) release enkephalins
  • Nucleus Raphe Magnus (NRM in pons and medulla) release serotonin
  • Release of these inhibit ascending neurons
27
Q

Central biasing theory

A
  • descending activated by stim. of delta and C neurons
  • cause release of enkephalins (PAG) and serotonin (NRM) to inhibit pain
  • Enkephalin interneuron release in SG to block Delta & C
28
Q

4 influences of pain perception

A
  • physical
  • chemical
  • social
  • psychological
29
Q

Endogenous opiates theory

A
  • release of enkephalins (CNS) and beta-endorphins (pituitary gland)
  • block ascending nerve impulses
30
Q

Electrical Stimulation uses

A
  1. stimulate BETAs with TENS (gate theory)
  2. noxious pain causes release of endogenous opiates
  3. fatigue muscle to stop pain-spasm-pain cycle
  4. reduce edema by decreasing fluid pressure on nocio
  5. iontophoresis

39
Q

Disability

A

limitation in performance of socially defined roles and tasks within a sociocultural and physical environment
