Recruiting healthy 18-50 year olds for a second wave of this study on pain modulation. You’ll visit the Exeter Pain Lab in the Clinical Research Facility twice (approx. 1 week apart) & run through tests related to pain.
If interested, please email Josh: jm1459@exeter.ac.uk

Led by Ketan and in collaboration with @jose_biurrun. We tested the role of verbal support on the development of mechanical hypersensitivity, pinprick evoked potentials (PEPs), theta/beta ratio and cortisol. We found significant effects on pinprick ratings on the ultralate PEP
24 Oct 2024
Original: Ketan Jaltare (@KU_Leuven), Dr. @DianaTorta et al. showed that, in women, verbal support during intense pain leading to hypersensitivity is effective on some behavioral outcomes, and no evidence was found for the role of stress

Thanks to @SamNeuroPain and the @CPNN_UK team for a wonderful #neuromod conference @UniofExeter. A new field for me and prepping for two new #PhD students incoming for 2025. Get in touch if you’re interested in understanding mechs of CNS stim for the treatment of pain. ⚡️🧠😫➡️😀
