Journal Article

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
Berryman, C., Stanton, T. R., Jane Bowering, K., Tabor, A., McFarlane, A., & Lorimer Moseley, G. (2013). Evidence for working memory deficits in chronic pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis. PAIN, 154(8), 1181-1196. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pain.2013.03.002

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
Vallence, A. M., Smith, A., Tabor, A., Rolan, P. E., & Ridding, M. C. (2013). Chronic tension-type headache is associated with impaired motor learning. Cephalalgia, 33(12), 1048-1054. https://doi.org/10.1177/0333102413483932

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...
