The experience of chronic pain in adult cancer survivors: A qualitative evidence synthesis (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Armoogum, J., McCabe, C., Harcourt, D., Foster, C., & Llewellyn, A. (2018, November). The experience of chronic pain in adult cancer survivors: A qualitative evidence synthesis. Poster presented at UK Oncology Nursing Society (UKONS) Conference, Glasgow, Scotland

Introduction There have been significant improvements in cancer survival in recent decades but not everyone is living well. Nearly 40% of cancer survivors have chronic pain, however, little is known about their experiences (1). Those with chronic...

Pain and other symptoms of CRPS can be increased by ambiguous visual stimuli - An exploratory study (2011)
Journal Article
Hall, J., Harrison, S., Cohen, H., McCabe, C., Harris, N., & Blake, D. R. (2011). Pain and other symptoms of CRPS can be increased by ambiguous visual stimuli - An exploratory study. European Journal of Pain, 15(1), 17-22. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpain.2010.04.009

Background: Visual disturbance, visuo-spatial difficulties, and exacerbations of pain associated with these, have been reported by some patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Aims: We investigated the hypothesis that some visual stimuli... Read More about Pain and other symptoms of CRPS can be increased by ambiguous visual stimuli - An exploratory study.

Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A randomized trial (2010)
Journal Article
Goebel, A., Baranowski, A., Maurer, K., Ghiai, A., McCabe, C., & Ambler, G. (2010). Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A randomized trial. Annals of Internal Medicine, 152(3), 152-158

Background: The treatment of longstanding Complex Regional Pain Syndrome(CRPS) is empirical and often of limited efficacy. Preliminary data suggest that the immune system is involved in sustaining this condition and that treatment with low dose intra...

Somatosensory conflicts in complex regional pain syndrome type 1 and fibromyalgia syndrome (2009)
Journal Article
Lewis, J., McCabe, C., Cohen, H., Hall, J., Rodham, K., & Harris, N. (2009). Somatosensory conflicts in complex regional pain syndrome type 1 and fibromyalgia syndrome. Current Rheumatology Reports, 11(6), 461-465. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11926-009-0067-4

The somatosensory system is an integral component of the motor control system that facilitates the recognition of location and experience of peripheral stimuli, as well as body part position and differentiation. In chronic pain, this system may be di... Read More about Somatosensory conflicts in complex regional pain syndrome type 1 and fibromyalgia syndrome.

An embarrassment of pain perceptions? Towards an understanding of and explanation for the clinical presentation of CRPS type 1 (2008)
Journal Article
McCabe, C., & Blake, D. R. (2008). An embarrassment of pain perceptions? Towards an understanding of and explanation for the clinical presentation of CRPS type 1. Rheumatology, 47(11), 1612-1616. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/ken254

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a fairly common problem in rheumatological and orthopaedic practice, is an allodynic pain state of uncertain pathology often variably and unpredictably responsive to treatments. Although published diagnostic cri... Read More about An embarrassment of pain perceptions? Towards an understanding of and explanation for the clinical presentation of CRPS type 1.

Sensorimotor integration in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A transcranial magnetic stimulation study (2007)
Journal Article
Turton, A., McCabe, C., Harris, N., & Filipovic, S. R. (2007). Sensorimotor integration in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A transcranial magnetic stimulation study. PAIN, 127(3), 270-275. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pain.2006.08.021

There is evidence that patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) have altered central sensorimotor processing. Sensory input can influence motor output either through indirect pathways or through direct connections from the sensory to motor...
