Abstract Evidence and gap maps (EGMs) can be used to identify gaps within specific research areas help guide future agendas directions. Currently, there are no EGMs the broad domain of chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in adults. The aim this study was create a contemporary EGM interventions outcomes for investigating MSK pain. This based on systematic reviews published scientific journals past 20 years. Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO were retrieve studies inclusion. quality...
Sitting posture may contribute to spinal pain. Effects of postures on pain, sensitivity and muscle activity during computer tasks were investigated.Twenty-five healthy participants, seated at a workstation without backrest, completed four, 15-min typing tasks: A)Upright with forearm-support; B)Upright C)Slumped D)Slumped forearm-support. Participants rated pain every minute numerical rating scale (NRS). RMS-EMG was recorded from upper/lower trapezius (UT, LT), serratus anterior...
IntroductionThis study aimed to investigate the effect of sex on regional and widespread pain sensitivity following acute bouts stretching stretching.Methods73 healthy adults (36 females; mean age 25.6 ± 6.7 years) with an range from 19 62 years were recruited for this experimental study. Regional distant pressure thresholds, passive knee extension motion resistive torque measured before 30 s after four 30-s static muscle flexors 20-s rest between bouts.ResultsNo significant differences...
Musculoskeletal pain represents an increase in medical expenses due to disability and decreased quality of life among workers. Various biopsychosocial factors contribute the development persistent disabling musculoskeletal pain. The Prevent for Work questionnaire (P4Wq) intended analyze these factors. In this study, original Italian version P4Wq was translated culturally adapted Spanish. Moreover, psychometric properties were evaluated Spanish workers with without recent history spinal first...
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a highly prevalent respiratory associated with significant health decline and economic burdens. Pulmonary rehabilitation an effective intervention, but securing adherence to exercise difficult, particularly for frail disabled patients, challenged by leaving their home. Home-based emerging alternative persons COPD, long-term unclear. This study aims investigate the effects, experiences acceptability of home-based cycling patients COPD...
Several chronic pain conditions are accompanied with enlarged referred areas. This study investigated a novel method for assessing pain. In 20 healthy subjects, pressure thresholds (PPTs) were recorded and stimuli (120% PPT) applied bilaterally 5 60 seconds at the infraspinatus muscle to induce local Moreover, PPTs measured shoulder, neck, leg before, during, after hypertonic saline-induced in dominant muscle. The areas assessed on drawings. Subsequently, delayed onset soreness was induced...
Objectives: The active straight leg raise (ASLR) test is widely used clinically to assess severity of lumbopelvic pain due decreased stability the sacroiliac joint (SIJ). This study aimed bypass influence SIJ on ASLR by investigating effect experimental pelvic and hyperalgesia outcome test. Methods: Thirty-four healthy participants took part in this randomized crossover study. Pelvic was induced injecting hypertonic saline into long posterior ligament. Isotonic injected contralateral side as...
The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is often considered to be involved when people present for care with low back pain where SIJ located. However, determining why the has arisen can challenging, especially in absence of a specific cause such as pregnancy, disease, or trauma, might identified source symptoms help manual clinical tests. Nonspecific SIJ-related commonly suggested causally associated movement problems SIJ(s)-a diagnosis traditionally derived from assessment movements complex. Management...
Digital pain mapping allows for remote and ecological momentary assessment in patients over multiple time points spanning days to months. Frequent assessments may reveal tendencies fluctuations more clearly provide insights into the trajectory of a patient's pain.The primary aim this study is remotely map track intensity distribution discomfort (eg, burning, aching, tingling) with nonmalignant spinal referred 12 weeks using web-based app digital mapping. The secondary explore barriers use by...
TOC summary An experimental pain model indicates that the superficial ligamentous structures of sacroiliac joint are a possible source symptoms in pelvic girdle pain. The extra-articular (SIJ) structure is potential for low back and This study hypothesised induced ligament causes (1) hyperalgesia to pressure, (2) distinct referral, (3) an increased frequency positive provocation tests SIJ complex. Thirty healthy subjects (15 females) participated this designed as randomised crossover trial....
Background: Previous studies have found a negative association between conditioned pain modulation (CPM) response and catastrophizing among pain-free individuals. This study investigated the difference in CPM individuals with chronic low back (CLBP) controls, response. Methods: In all, 22 CLBP sex-matched age-matched controls underwent protocol. Pressure thresholds (PPTs) were measured on lower leg back. The was registered as change PPT from baseline to after cold pressor test (CPT)....
Widespread pain partially depends upon sensitization of central mechanisms. However, mechanisms controlling distribution are not completely known. The present study sought to assess skin temperature variations in the area experimentally-induced and potential sex differences. Pressure-pain thresholds (PPTs) were measured on right infraspinatus muscle. At end Day 0, all participants performed an eccentric exercise shoulder external rotators induce muscle soreness 24 hours after. On 1,...
Understanding the stability of quantitative sensory tests (QSTs) over time is important to aid clinicians in selecting a battery for assessing and monitoring patients. This study evaluated short- long-term reliability selected QSTs.Twenty healthy women participated three experimental sessions: Baseline, 2 weeks, 6 months. Measurements included pressure pain thresholds (PPT) neck, upper back, leg; Pressure-cuff tolerance around upper-arm; conditioned modulation during pressure-cuff stimulus;...
Purpose: Altered head range of motion (RoM) and repositioning accuracy (HRA) are commonly reported in neck pain. However, the quality (QoM) is currently not easy to assess clinically. This study investigated agreement rotation recordings using a 3D camera system compared commercially available inertial measurement unit (MOTI).Materials methods: Thirty participants, mean age 26.5 years old (SD 4.4), partook this study. Participants wore Headband with MOTI markers for capture analysis during...
