The Pain Is In Your Brain

Sat, 04 Sep 2010 06:09:41 -0400

There is an extremely important relationship between the brain,the IML intermediate lateral cell nucleus of the spinal cord,and motor activity activity that allows us to move in regardsto chronic pain syndromes. The intermediate lateral cellnucleus, or IML, of the spinal cord drives the sympatheticnervous system. Increasing the sympathetic tone increases therelease of norepinephrine and catecholamines through stimulationof the adrenal medulla. When all of this occurs, the nociceptiveafferent fibers, or pain fibers, are bathed in norepinephrine.When nociceptive afferents are bathed in norepinephrine,secondary to increase sympathetic output, there is an increasein the expression of the alpha adrenergic receptors which arelinked to sodium channels and cause excitation. Thus, there isan increase in the IML, or intermediate lateral cell nucleus.The increase in the IML output causes an increase in the releaseof norepinephrine, which when released causes an upregulation i...
