Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) is a major and highly prevalent health problem. Given the high number of papers available, clinicians might be overwhelmed by evidence on CLBP management. Taking into account scale costs CLBP, it imperative that healthcare professionals have access to up-to-date, evidence-based information assist them in treatment decision-making. Therefore, this paper provides state-of-the-art overview best non-invasive rehabilitation for CLBP. together up-to-date from...
Chronic pain is the most prevalent disease worldwide, leading to substantial disability and socioeconomic burden. Therefore, it can be regarded as a public health major challenge scientists, clinicians affected individuals. Behavioral lifestyle factors, such as, physical (in)activity, stress, poor sleep an unhealthy diet are increasingly recognized perpetuating factors for chronic pain. Yet, current management options patients with often do not address in personalized multimodal fashion....
Abstract Introduction The differentiation between acute and chronic pain can be insufficient for appropriate management. aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence predominant type (nociceptive, neuropathic, or central sensitization [CS] pain) in breast cancer survivors ( BCS ) with pain. secondary aims were examine (1) differences health‐related quality life HRQoL different groups; (2) associations patient‐, disease‐, treatment‐related factors types. Methods To determine pain, a...
(1) Background: This exploratory study aims to explore the relationship between nonspecific chronic spinal pain (nCSP) and insomnia symptoms, by examining interconnections, strengths, directional dependence of symptoms. In addition, we aim identify key symptoms nCSP–insomnia shed light on bidirectional nature this relationship. (2) Methods: is a secondary analysis baseline data (cross-sectional) from randomized controlled trial, which examined added value Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for...
Abstract Sleep disturbances are one of the most frequent reported problems in people with nonspecific chronic spinal pain (nCSP) and presents an additional treatment challenge. Interventions targeting sleep mainly based on subjective complaints do not take objective into consideration. The aim this cross-sectional study was to evaluate relationship conformity between self-reported objectively measured parameters (ie, questionnaire vs polysomnography actigraphy). baseline data 123 nCSP...
: To investigate if intra-articular biomarkers relate to peripheral and central sensitization in patients with late-stage knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Abstract Objective Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common musculoskeletal problem worldwide and its key symptom pain. Guidelines recommend incorporating comorbidity-specific therapies into patient-centered care. Patients diagnosed with KOA frequently have insomnia, which associated higher-pain severity. For this reason, study protocol outlines the methodology of randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating effectiveness cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) combined...
Abstract Most people who have nonspecific chronic spinal pain (nCSP) report comorbid insomnia. However, in current treatment strategies for nCSP, insomnia is usually not addressed. Considering the bidirectional interaction between and sleep its underlying psychophysiological mechanisms, may increase risk of developing adverse physical psychological health outcomes should thus no longer be left untreated. As suggested by previous pilot studies, adding cognitive behavioral therapy to...
Importance Insomnia is highly prevalent in patients with nonspecific chronic spinal pain (nCSP). Given the close interaction between insomnia and pain, targeting sleep problems during therapy could improve treatment outcomes. Objective To evaluate effectiveness of cognitive behavioral for (CBTi) integrated best-evidence management (BEPM) vs BEPM only nCSP insomnia. Design, Setting, Participants A multicenter randomized clinical trial 1-year follow-up was conducted April 10, 2018, 30, 2022....
Objectives: To investigate the relationship between offset analgesia magnitude and responsiveness to conditioned pain modulation (CPM), temporal summation of (second) (TSP), clinical severity in people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods: Electrical stimuli were applied 88 participants KOA measure at volar forearm dominant hand, CPM TSP most symptomatic ipsilateral wrist. Clinical was assessed using subscale Knee injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS PAIN ). Linear mixed effects...
Background: Chronic spinal pain (CSP) is a major public health problem worldwide, frequently related to sleep problems. Central sensitization (CS) may worsen the clinical picture of CSP patients with insomnia. The aim this study was compare self-reported and objectively measured outcomes between insomniac comorbid insomnia without symptoms CS. Methods: A case-control on baseline sleep, functioning, psychological distress through online questionnaires. Objective physical activity parameters...
