Background Sensory discrimination training (SDT) for people with chronic low back pain
(CLBP) is a novel approach based on theories of the cortical reorganization of the neural …

Objective: Diminished tactile acuity in chronic non-neuropathic pain syndromes has been
attributed to central pain processing and cortical reorganization. The latter was recently …

Background Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders,
causing significant personal and social burden. Current research is focused on the …

Research shows that chronic pain is related to cortical alterations that can be reflected in
reduced tactile acuity, but whether acute pain perception influences tactile acuity has not …

Localizing tactile stimulation is an important capability for everyday function and may be
impaired in people with persistent pain. This study sought to provide a detailed description …

Background Chronic back pain (CBP) is a frequent debilitating and often treatment‐resistant
disorder. The awareness of one's own body seems to be essential in pain reduction through …

Objective This proof-of-concept pilot study aimed to investigate if a visual illusion that altered
the size and muscularity of the back could be embodied and alter perception of the back …

Two-point discrimination is measured as an indicator of cortical reorganisation in
musculoskeletal medicine. Nevertheless, data are lacking for the reliability of this measure in …

Two-point discrimination (TPD) has been widely used as a parameter for the examination of
higher-order perceptual functions in the field of rehabilitation. Previous research has shown …

A two-point discrimination test (TPD) is commonly used to investigate lumbar tactile acuity.
However, low inter-examiner reliability and difficulties in execution significantly limit its …
