Abstract

Pathological limb pain patients show decreased attention to some stimuli on the painful limb and increased attention to others, a paradox that has dogged the field for over a decade. We hypothesized that pathological pain involves a spatial inattention confined to bodily representations. Patients showed inattention to the painful side for visual processing of body parts but not letters, tactile processing but not auditory, and body‐part bisection tasks but not line bisection tasks. We propose the new term “somatospatial inattention” to describe bodily‐specific spatial inattention associated with pathological limb pain. Ann Neurol 2016;79:701–704

  • Alterations in peripersonal space representation have been consistently observed in different chronic painful syndromes, including complex regional pain syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia, or episodic migraine.

    “alterations in PPS representation have been consistently observed in different chronic painful syndromes, including complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) (Reid et al. 2016; Filbrich et al. 2017b; Bultitude et al. 2017), trigeminal neuralgia(Bufacchi et al. 2017) or episodic migraine (Ayas et al. 2020).”

    From Neuroanatomical correlates of peripersonal space: bridging the gap between perception, action, emotion and social cognition (2024) · cites this paper as Reid et al. 2016

    Reid et al. study CRPS, the condition to which this citation is attached; the other syndromes have separate citations. The Discussion (page unavailable) distinguishes peripersonal from personal space and describes the observed CRPS deficit as relating to personal space, centered on the affected limb, rather than an alteration in peripersonal-space representation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
