| Abstract | Spinal pain is considered the most important, costly and common chronic disease. Many conservative therapies including spinal manipulation, practised mainly in chiropractic and physiotherapy, demonstrate efficacy like other conventional treatments for back pain. Several studies have examined the effects of the vertebral manipulation on both clinical and experimental pain. However, the mechanism behind hypoalgesia is unknown. One of the hypotheses rose to explain the effectiveness of the spinal manipulation is that it may modulate pain through spinal mechanisms underlying temporal summation and central sensitization, two phenomena involved in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. The results presented in the first paper allowed to reproduce the transient hypoalgesic effects on temporal summation reported in the literature for experimental chest pain. In the second paper, mechanically assisted vertebral manipulation could not reproduce the results obtained in the first study on pain ratings. Moreover, expected neuromuscular responses to the mechanically assisted vertebral manipulation were obtained while the nociceptive flexion reflex was unaffected, thus suggesting that stimulation modalities and manipulation nature may influence hypoalgesic effects. The two experiments of this dissertation partially explain the mechanism of spinal manipulation on pain and may be relevant for the future experiments studying this therapy mechanism used by a considerable number of participants. |
