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: [email protected]

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

New preprint alert 🚨🚨 Interest in nature-based social prescribing for chronic pain management is growing every day, but what are the mechanisms of nature-based analgesia? Very proud of this work, led by @SamNeuroPain. Check us out, more coming soon! 😉

Check out our new editorial in @BJAJournals on virtual reality. We discuss how VR can be used alongside pain neuroscience techniques in the management of chronic pain. @ExeterNeuro

Have had an incredible first conference experience at @IASPpain in Amsterdam so far!🇳🇱 I was able to present my preliminary findings on the nociceptive blink reflex and CPM and was very grateful for the insightful questions and suggestions from everyone who stopped by 😃 #WC2024

[Sam Hughes @SamNeuroPain]

We discuss how virtual reality can be used to integrate multiple therapies alongside pain neuroscience techniques to help better understand pathophysiological pain mechanisms and treatment responses

[Sam Hughes @SamNeuroPain]

Excited to be back at @IASPpain with the Exeter Pain Lab! We have 5 posters and a presentation on our work on descending pain modulation, virtual reality, nature-based analgesia and human surrogate pain models. Come and say hi!

Thank you once again to all of our early career researchers that participated!👏

[s.pain2412 @KhotSharmila]

@CPNN_UK thank you for inviting me. Wonderful conference @SamNeuroPain thank you for hospitality from the Exeter Uni hosts

[Dave McGonigle @MnsrArgonaut]

Thanks again for the invite. Roll on...Glasgow...?

[T Graven-Nielsen @GravenNielsen]

Excellent programme, thanks for inviting me. Really enjoyed presenting at this @CPNN_UK meeting - followed by excellent questions and comments.

[Anna M. Zamorano @Zamorano_AM]

A pleasure to have been part of the @CPNN_UK meeting. Great talks and discussions, fantastic people and a gorgeous university @UniofExeter . Thanks 🙌

[Robbie Drake @Robbie_drk]

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. ⚡️🧠😫➡️😀
