This thesis focuses on acid‑sensing ion channels (ASICs), with particular attention to their mechanisms of activation and desensitization. ASICs are proton‑gated ion chan [...]

The purpose of this prospective pilot study was to assess if clear aligner adjunct therapies: "Chewies®" (Chew) or "PULSystem®" (Pul) affected reported pain, compliance, [...]

This dissertation investigates the dynamics of intracellular signaling cascades as a functional readout of neuromodulation. Specifically, newly developed fluorescence lif [...]I would like to embargo for 5 years, as chapter 4 is not published yet.

The use of multimodal analgesia is preferred over single-agent analgesia for postoperative pain management due to synergistic modulations of pain pathways. The two most c [...]

At its core, the brain is an integrator of sensory information. It undergoes dynamic changes depending on stimuli and environment, both of which directly affect sensory p [...]

This quality improvement project identified significant gaps in the documentation of phantom limb pain (PLP) among amputee patients, revealing that PLP was often absent f [...]

The brain regulates nociceptive processing through descending projections from the brainstem to the spinal and trigeminal dorsal horns. This is accomplished through endog [...]
