Kopf- und Gesichtsschmerzen: Somatosensorische Verzerrungen erkennen und gezielt behandeln

Chronische Kopf- und Gesichtsschmerzen stellen eine komplexe Herausforderung dar, die oft mit somatosensorischen Verzerrungen einhergeht. Diese Verzerrungen beeinflussen sensorische Wahrnehmung, motorische Kontrolle und emotionale Verarbeitung. Der 2. Teil der Serie beleuchtet aktuelle Erkenntnisse über die Pathophysiologie dieser Schmerzen und stellt einen systematischen Therapieansatz vor, der sich auf die Kombination aus Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE), systematischem sensomotorischem Training (SSMT) und systematischem Gehirntraining (SGT) stützt.

Abstract

Chronic head and facial pain present a complex challenge, often accompanied by somatosensory distortions. These distortions affect sensory perception, motor control, and emotional processing. The second part of this series explores current insights into the pathophysiology of these pain conditions and introduces a systematic therapeutic approach based on a combination of Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE), Systematic Sensorimotor Training (SSMT), and Systematic Brain Training (SBT).
