Many musculoskeletal pain conditions are characterized by hypersensitivity, which is induced central sensitization (CS). A questionnaire, the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), was recently developed to help clinicians identify patients whose presenting symptoms may be related sensitivity syndrome (CSS). The aims of present study were examine criterion validity and construct Japanese version CSI (CSI-J), investigate prevalence rates CS severity levels in with disorders.Translation into...
Background The central sensitization inventory (CSI) comprises 25 items and is commonly used to measure somatic emotional symptoms related symptoms. CSI was developed as an easy-to-administer screening instrument for patients at high risk of developing in whom it essential quickly evaluate the condition. purpose present study develop a short form its psychometric properties using contemporary approach called Rasch analysis. Methods A total 505 with musculoskeletal disorders were recruited...
Pain after cancer remains underestimated and undertreated. Precision medicine is a recent concept that refers to the ability classify patients into subgroups differ in their susceptibility to, biology, or prognosis of particular disease, response specific treatment, thus tailor treatment individual patient characteristics. Applying this pain cancer, post-cancer three major phenotypes (i.e. nociceptive, neuropathic, nociplastic pain) accordingly, an emerging issue. This especially relevant...
Background Recent systematic reviews have demonstrated that pain associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex phenomenon involves various contributors. People OA exhibit symptoms of impaired body-perception, including reduced tactile acuity, impairments in limb laterality recognition, and degraded proprioceptive acuity. The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) was developed to assess body-perception specific the back people chronic low pain. aim this study develop...
Purpose: The aims of the present study were to investigate whether association between Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) score, pain-related symptoms, disability, and health-related quality life differed by disease (chronic low back pain [CLBP] vs knee osteoarthritis [KOA]), determine optimal cutoff scores for CSI reflecting disease-specific characteristics. Patients methods: A total 104 patients with CLBP 50 KOA recruited. sensitization-related symptoms (CSI), EuroQol 5-dimension...
To confirm the psychometric properties of Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) among Japanese chronic pain patients.In total, 144 outpatients were asked to complete questionnaires comprising AIS and other study measures. According original article, has 2 versions: AIS-8 (full version) AIS-5 (brief version). validate patients, we confirmed: 1) factor structure by confirmatory analysis; 2) internal consistency Cronbach's a; 3) test-retest reliability using with interclass correlation coefficients; 4)...
Abstract Background Central sensitization (CS) is found in patients with musculoskeletal disorders and related to clinical symptoms, including pain‐related disability. The Sensitization Inventory (CSI) has been developed for who are at risk of symptoms CS, CSI severity levels suggested interpretation the score. However, longitudinal relationship between disability unclear primary care. In this study, we investigated association profiles as well care settings. Methods A total 553 were...
The goal of this study was to identify central sensitization-related symptom severity subgroups in a large multicountry sample composed patients with chronic pain and pain-free individuals using the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI).A large, pooled international (N = 8 countries) plus healthy subjects (total N 2,620) randomly divided into two subsamples for cross-validation purposes. First, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) performed CSI item-level data as clustering variables (test...
Abstract When people judge the laterality of rotated hand images, that is they perform judgement task (LJT), are thought to use motor imagery. However, recent studies have suggested its completion does not necessarily require In this study, we investigated whether and how many preferentially imagery LJT in 37 healthy adults. We assessed presence behavioural features associated with at individual level, namely, linear angle–response time (RT) relationship biomechanical constraints effect...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Aromatase inhibitor (AI)-induced musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS) can decrease health-related quality of life and lead to discontinuation AI therapy for postmenopausal women with breast cancer (BC). Although central sensitization (CS) may contribute AIMSS, the relevance CS-related AIMSS has not been fully clarified. This study aimed investigate relationship between in BC who received therapy. <b><i>Methods:</i></b>...
The purpose of this investigation was to undertake a hypothesis-generating study identify candidate variables that characterize people with knee osteoarthritis who are most likely experience positive response exercise.One hundred and fifty participants participated in observational, longitudinal study. All received standard exercise intervention consisted 20-min sessions two three times week for months. classification regression tree methodology (CART) used develop prediction clinical...
This study aimed to investigate the effects of Brazilian propolis on body fat mass and levels adiponectin reactive oxygen species among community-dwelling elderly females. was a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial. Altogether, 78 females aged 66–84 years were randomly assigned (PRO; n = 39) or placebo (PLA; group. For 12 weeks, PRO group given three capsules containing 227 mg twice day. Meanwhile, PLA daily capsules. Of participants, 53 (PLA group: 28, 25) completed study....
Objective The Injustice Experience Questionnaire (IEQ) assesses injury-related perceived injustice. This study aimed to (1) develop a Japanese version (IEQ-J), (2) examine its factor structure, validity, and reliability, (3) discover which demographic variable(s) positively contributed prediction of IEQ-J scores. Methods Data from 71 patients (33 male, 38 female; age = 20+) with injury pain were employed investigate structure by exploratory confirmatory analyses. Concurrent validity was...
The aim of this study was to explore the existence subgroups in a cohort people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) based upon data from multiple pain-related variables and profile identified clusters according levels pain intensity knee-related disability. Three hundred three OA were recruited. Latent analysis used confirm optimal number subgroups. Body mass index, radiographic severity, catastrophizing, related self-efficacy, specific self-perception, incorporated into model. Cluster,...
It has been unclear whether the risk factors for rotator cuff tears are same at all ages or differ between young and older populations. In this study, we examined using classification regression tree analysis as methods of nonlinear analysis. There were 65 patients in group 45 intact group. Classification was performed to predict tears. The target factor tears; explanatory variables age, sex, trauma, critical shoulder angle≥35°. results analysis, divided age 64. For aged≥64, trauma. aged<64,...
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to determine the optimal cutoff score of 9‐item short version CSI, CSI‐9, by comparing patients with central sensitivity syndrome (CSS) not only healthy volunteers as original version, but also musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders. Methods All participants filled out EuroQol 5‐dimension, Brief Pain Inventory, and Catastrophizing Scale questionnaires. To identify a clinically relevant score, receiver operating characteristic analyses were conducted. The area...
Abstract Introduction: Kinematic data obtained during a movement task by individuals with chronic low back pain seem to be related pain-related fear. General kinesiophobia assessments, such as Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, are often used assess However, these questionnaires could suffer from lack of sensitivity and do not measure the fear specific movements. Objectives: The purpose this study was investigate whether task-specific assessment exhibits closer association trunk kinematics...
