“…scaling) measures of pain intensity demonstrate amplification in these patients [7, 10, 19]. By documenting reduced pain threshold and tolerance on the forearm of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD)--another set of conditions characterized by hypervigilance [20]--Maixner et al showed that the increased pain sensitivity of hypervigilant clinical populations is at least partly a manifestation of a widespread, and therefore presumably central, disturbance [13]. …”

“…The participants were persons with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), a group of conditions involving chronic orofacial pain, including the lower face. People with TMDs are highly attentive to their pain, and to stimuli delivered to the painful region, a characteristic called hypervigilance (Rollman & Gillespie, 2004). We therefore reasoned that, compared to normal participants, these individuals pay less attention to proprioceptive information from the affected region.…”

Tactile orientation constancy: Do proprioception and attention affect the tactile vertical?¹

Tactile vertical , defined as the edge orientation that participants perceive to be vertical, was examined in four experiments. In Experiment 1, we touched the participants' cheek, lips, or hand with an edge and asked them to judge its orientation with regard to gravitational vertical, both when the stimulated body part was upright (or, in the case of the lips, aligned), and when it was tilted (lips, distorted). We found that when the head or hand was tilted forward 30 ° , or when the lower lip was distorted approximately 38 ° to the left or right, the tactile vertical shifted in the same direction by only a fraction (8.7, 8.6, and 36.3% for the cheek, lips, and hand, respectively) of the change in orientation of the stimulated region. The results indicated considerable, but usually incomplete, orientation constancy. In Experiment 2, we measured tactile vertical on the hand for forward tilts from 0 ° to 45 ° . We found that as the hand was tilted, the tactile vertical increasingly shifted in the same direction as the hand (i.e., a tactile Aubert effect). In Experiment 3, the effect of attentional focus on tactile vertical was examined by comparing the tactile vertical of participants who attended to body-centered coordinates, and others who attended to gravitation-centered coordinates. We found that focusing on body-centered coordinates caused a decrease in orientation constancy. We sought to examine the role of attention further in Experiment 4, measuring tactile vertical on the cheek of persons with temporomandibular disorders. Compared with normal participants, these participants displayed significantly lower constancy. The results were accounted for by a narrowing of attention to painful signals, so that proprioceptive information was attended to less. In conclusion, the degree of tactile orientation constancy that participants demonstrate varies as a function of body site and attentional focus.
