Chronic neuropathic pain affects millions worldwide, often resisting standard treatments and severely impacting quality of life. One lesser-known factor contributing to this persistent pain is the complex interaction between the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and somatic sensation. Research by Crossley C in 1995 sheds light on how these two systems interact pathologically, offering new perspectives on chronic neuropathic pain mechanisms. What Is Chronic Neuropathic Pain? Neur

Chronic neuropathic pain affects millions worldwide, often resisting conventional treatments and severely impacting quality of life. One key factor in this persistent pain is the complex interaction between the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and somatic sensory pathways. Research by Crossley C (1995) sheds light on how these systems contribute to the development and maintenance of chronic neuropathic pain. This article explores these pathological interactions, offering insigh

What Murphy, Dawson & Slack (1995) Found Can adjusting the sacroiliac (SI) joint influence spinal cord reflex activity? In a 1995 study published in Electromyography and Clinical Neurophysiology , Murphy, Dawson, and Slack investigated whether sacroiliac joint manipulation alters the H-reflex , an objective neurophysiological measure of spinal motor neuron excitability. Their findings suggest that manual therapy at the SI joint may produce measurable changes in spinal reflex
