Gut−Brain Interactions in Visceral Pain and the Regulation of Food Intake KU Leuven
Neurohumoral gut−brain signals are part of an integrated interoceptive system which is continuously signaling homeostatic information to the brain; normally this remains largely unperceived. Dysfunctional gut−brain signaling has been implicated in both functional (i.e. unexplained) gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, characterized by visceral pain, and food intake disorders, such as obesity. Both groups of conditions are highly prevalent and ...

SLOW, DEEP BREATHING TO DAMPEN PAIN: EVALUATING THE EFFICACY AND INVESTIGATING THE UNDERLYING PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS KU Leuven
Pain is the most common symptom for which people seek medical care. Chronic pain is common worldwide, and often not treated adequately, thereby leading to reduced quality of life and high healthcare costs. Recently, there has been increasing attention toward the complexity and biopsychosocial nature of pain, and the need for multidisciplinary pain management has been increasingly acknowledged. Various mind-body interventions are being used ...
