Pain unstuck: The role of action and motivation (2020)
Journal Article
Tabor, A., Van Ryckeghem, D. M., & Hasenbring, M. I. (2020). Pain unstuck: The role of action and motivation. Clinical Journal of Pain, 36(3), 143-149. https://doi.org/10.1097/AJP.0000000000000786

Background:What is it that motivates our actions? As human beings, existing as part of complex societies, the actions we take are subject to multiple, often competing motives. Spanning non-conscious reflexes, cognitively derived choice as well as lon... Read More about Pain unstuck: The role of action and motivation.

Predicting the consequences of physical activity: An investigation into the relationship between anxiety sensitivity, interoceptive accuracy and action (2019)
Journal Article
Tabor, A., Vollaard, N., Keogh, E., & Eccleston, C. (2019). Predicting the consequences of physical activity: An investigation into the relationship between anxiety sensitivity, interoceptive accuracy and action. PLoS ONE, 14(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0210853

The ability to predict the consequences of our actions is imperative for the everyday success of our interactions. From negotiating an uneven surface, to mounting an immune response, we continually infer the limits of our body. The current investigat...

Perceptual inference in chronic pain (2016)
Journal Article
Tabor, A., O'Daly, O., Gregory, R. W., Jacobs, C., Travers, W., Thacker, M. A., & Moseley, G. L. (2016). Perceptual inference in chronic pain. Clinical Journal of Pain, 32(7), 588-593. https://doi.org/10.1097/AJP.0000000000000305

Objective: The experience of chronic pain critically alters one's ability to interact with their environment. One fundamental issue that has received little attention, however, is whether chronic pain disrupts how one perceives their environment in t... Read More about Perceptual inference in chronic pain.

The close proximity of threat: Altered distance perception in the anticipation of pain (2015)
Journal Article
Tabor, A., Catley, M. J., Gandevia, S. C., Thacker, M. A., Spence, C., & Moseley, G. L. (2015). The close proximity of threat: Altered distance perception in the anticipation of pain. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00626

Pain is an experience that powerfully influences the way we interact with our environment. What is less clear is the influence that pain has on the way we perceive our environment. We investigated the effect that the anticipation of experimental pain... Read More about The close proximity of threat: Altered distance perception in the anticipation of pain.

Show me the skin! Does seeing the back enhance tactile acuity at the back? (2014)
Journal Article
Catley, M. J., Tabor, A., Miegel, R. G., Wand, B. M., Spence, C., & Moseley, G. L. (2014). Show me the skin! Does seeing the back enhance tactile acuity at the back?. Manual Therapy, 19(5), 461-466. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.math.2014.04.015

A growing body of literature associates musculoskeletal disorders with cortical reorganisation. One condition in which reorganisation is established and treatments that 'train the brain' are being widely used is chronic back pain. Recent evidence sug... Read More about Show me the skin!

Perceptual bias in pain: A switch looks closer when it will relieve pain than when it won't (2013)
Journal Article
Tabor, A., Catley, M. J., Gandevia, S., Thacker, M. A., & Lorimer Moseley, G. (2013). Perceptual bias in pain: A switch looks closer when it will relieve pain than when it won't. PAIN, 154(10), 1961-1965. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pain.2013.05.024

Pain is fundamental to survival, as are our perceptions of the environment. It is often assumed that we see our world as a read-out of the sensory information that we receive; yet despite the same physical makeup of our surroundings, individuals perc...

Evidence for working memory deficits in chronic pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2013)
Journal Article

People with chronic pain commonly report impaired cognitive function. However, to date, there has been no systematic evaluation of the body of literature concerning cognitive impairment and pain. Nor have modern meta-analytical methods been used to v... Read More about Evidence for working memory deficits in chronic pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Assessing tactile acuity in rheumatology and musculoskeletal medicine-How reliable are two-point discrimination tests at the neck, hand, back and foot? (2013)
Journal Article
Catley, M. J., Tabor, A., Wand, B. M., & Moseley, G. L. (2013). Assessing tactile acuity in rheumatology and musculoskeletal medicine-How reliable are two-point discrimination tests at the neck, hand, back and foot?. Rheumatology, 52(8), 1454-1461. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/ket140

Objective. Chronic pain from rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions is associated with cortical changes and altered tactile acuity. Tactile acuity is considered a clinical signature of primary somatosensory representation. The two-point discriminat...

Chronic tension-type headache is associated with impaired motor learning (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Supraspinal activity-dependent neuroplasticity may be important in the transition from acute to chronic pain. We examined neuroplasticity in a cortical region not considered to be a primary component of the central pain matrix in chronic...
