0451 Improving Diagnostic Accuracy in Sleep Apnea Through Respiratory Based Home Sleep Tests Open
Introduction DeepRESP is a cloud-based software designed to overcome the limitations of type III sleep recordings, which traditionally lack the signals required to score sleep stages, arousals, and thus hypopneas ending in arousals. These …

0424 Closing the Gender Gap in Sleep Apnea Diagnosis: AI-Enhanced Home Sleep Testing Open
Introduction Home sleep testing (HST) is the primary method for diagnosing sleep apnea. However, traditional HST cannot measure sleep stages and arousals, leading to the systematic underdiagnosis of patients who predominantly experience hy…

Effects of pain on cortical homeostatic plasticity in humans: a systematic review Open
Homeostatic plasticity (HP) is a negative feedback mechanism that prevents excessive facilitation or depression of cortical excitability (CE). Cortical HP responses in humans have been investigated by using 2 blocks of noninvasive brain st…

Investigation of pain sensitivity following 3 nights of disrupted sleep in healthy individuals Open
Background Poor quality sleep is a common complaint among people with chronic pain. The co‐occurrence of poor sleep quality and chronic pain often comes with increased pain intensity, more disability and a higher cost of healthcare. Poor s…

The Definition, Assessment, and Prevalence of (Human Assumed) Central Sensitisation in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review Open
Central sensitisation is assumed to be one of the underlying mechanisms for chronic low back pain. Because central sensitisation is not directly assessable in humans, the term ‘human assumed central sensitisation’ (HACS) is suggested. The …

Psychophysical predictors of experimental muscle pain intensity following fatiguing calf exercise Open
Musculoskeletal pain affects approximately 20% of the population worldwide and represents one of the leading causes of global disability. As yet, precise mechanisms underlying the development of musculoskeletal pain and transition to chron…

Medial Prefrontal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Aimed to Improve Affective and Attentional Modulation of Pain in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients Open
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is often without clear underlying pathology. Affective disturbance and dysfunctional pain mechanisms, commonly observed in populations with CLBP, have, therefore, been suggested as potential contributors to CLB…

Alterations in pronociceptive and antinociceptive mechanisms in patients with low back pain: a systematic review with meta-analysis Open
Altered pronociceptive and antinociceptive mechanisms are often implicated in painful conditions and have been increasingly studied over the past decade. For some painful conditions, alterations are well-established, but in populations wit…

Reduced Maximal Force during Acute Anterior Knee Pain Is Associated with Deficits in Voluntary Muscle Activation Open
Although maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force is reduced during pain, studies using interpolated twitch show no consistent reduction of voluntary muscle drive. The present study aimed to test if the reduction in MVC force during acute…
