A 2-year follow-up analysis of individuals with internet use disorders treated with the webcam-based telemedicine OMPRIS intervention Open
Evidence-based online treatments for internet use disorders (IUD) are poorly studied. The online-based, therapist-guided, motivational intervention program for internet use disorder (OMPRIS) has shown significant effects on reducing IUD sy…

The Mediating Role of Coping-Strategies in the Relation between Personality Traits and Symptoms of Gaming Disorder Open
Objective During the development of a gaming disorder (GD), affected individuals experience reduced control over their gaming use and the behavior exceedingly gains greater priority in the individuals’ lives. This implies continuation of t…

Time course of the rubber hand illusion–induced analgesia Open
Introduction: Previous investigations on pain modulatory effects of the rubber hand illusion (RHI) yielded mixed results. However, these studies used separate stimuli to induce pain and the RHI. Using a visual-thermal stimulation approach,…

Extended reality used in the treatment of phantom limb pain: a multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial Open
Phantom limb pain (PLP) represents a significant challenge after amputation. This study investigated the use of phantom motor execution (PME) and phantom motor imagery (PMI) facilitated by extended reality (XR) for the treatment of PLP. Bo…

Cue-reactivity to distal cues in individuals at risk for gaming disorder Open
The results demonstrate that already distal gaming-specific cues lead to cue-reactivity and craving in rGD. This finding indicates that based on conditioning processes, cue-reactivity and craving develop during the course of GD and general…

MicroRNA-Related Polymorphism and Their Association with Fibromyalgia Open
MicroRNAs are tissue-specific expressed short RNAs that serve post-transcriptional gene regulation. A specific microRNA can bind to mRNAs of different genes and thereby suppress their protein production. In the context of the complex pheno…

Neural correlates of control over pain in fibromyalgia patients Open
The perceived lack of control over the experience of pain is arguably-one major cause of agony and impaired life quality in patients with chronic pain disorders as fibromyalgia (FM). The way perceived control affects subjective pain as wel…

Phantom limb pain after unilateral arm amputation is associated with decreased heat pain thresholds in the face Open
Background The mechanisms underlying chronic phantom limb pain (PLP) are complex and insufficiently understood. Altered sensory thresholds are often associated with chronic pain but quantitative sensory testing (QST) in PLP has so far been…

Clinical updates on phantom limb pain Open
Introduction: Most patients with amputation (up to 80%) suffer from phantom limb pain postsurgery. These are often multimorbid patients who also have multiple risk factors for the development of chronic pain from a pain medicine perspectiv…

How the unconscious mind controls body movements: Body schema distortion in anorexia nervosa Open
Objective Besides all visible somatic manifestations, distorted body representation is a key symptom for anorexia nervosa (AN). Body representation can be divided into a conscious component, body image, and an unconscious action‐related on…

Differential effects of visually induced analgesia and attention depending on the pain stimulation site Open
Background The term ‘visually induced analgesia’ describes a reduced pain perception induced by watching the painful body part as opposed to watching a neutral object. In chronic back pain patients, experimental pain, movement‐induced pain…

Relationship of prosthesis ownership and phantom limb pain: results of a survey in 2383 limb amputees Open
Phantom limb pain (PLP) accounts for a significant reduction in quality of life and is difficult to treat. Prosthesis use has been shown to negatively covary with PLP. Recent research on body perception in amputees suggest that prosthesis …
