Background: In addition to fatigue, pain is the most frequent persistent symptom in cancer survivors. Clear guidelines for both diagnosis and treatment of survivors are lacking. Classification important as it may facilitate more specific targeting treatment. this paper we present an overview nociceptive, neuropathic central sensitization following treatment, well rationale, criteria process stratifying classification.Material methods: Recently, a clinical method classifying any either...
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...
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...
Abstract Purpose The primary aim of this cross-sectional study is to examine the prevalence pain phenotypes in breast cancer survivors (BCS). A secondary entails examining whether health related quality life differs between main BCS. Methods BCS who experienced chronic were asked complete numeric rating scale for pain, Margolis diagram, and short form 36 (SF-36). Following administration questionnaires quantitative sensory examinations applied. To determine predominant type a recently...
This article explores the effectiveness of a newly developed Pain Neuroscience Education program for children (PNE4Kids) with functional abdominal pain disorder (FAPD). Children (6-12 years) FAPD were randomly assigned to 1) experimental group (n = 14), participating in one hypnotherapy session (i.e., usual care) and additional PNE4Kids session, or 2) control two sessions. Parental catastrophizing, child's disability (parental-proxy), pain-related fear (parent-proxy) intensity, assessed at...
Abstract Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) are common among young individuals. To date, relatively little is known regarding the function of endogenous analgesic mechanisms in this vulnerable group. Therefore, case–control study aimed to compare conditioned modulation (CPM), pressure algometry, and psychosocial variables 39 children (aged 6-12 years) with FAPD 36 age- sex-matched pain-free controls. Pressure algometry was used assess thresholds (PPTs) at both symptomatic...
Individuals classified as having whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) grade II, which reflects approximately 93% of people with WAD who are commonly managed by health care professionals, exhibit both physical (eg, pain and disability) psychological fear movement, anxiety, posttraumatic stress) problems that, in 50% cases, persist beyond 3 months. There is still much ongoing debate regarding factors predictive poor recovery. The strongest associations have been found for high initial disability...
Multidimensional aspects of pain have raised awareness about cognitive appraisals, such as perceived injustice (PI) and catastrophizing (PC). It has been demonstrated that they play an important role in patients' experience. However, the mediating effect these appraisals not investigated breast cancer survivors (BCS), nor related to fatigue sleep.Cross-sectional data from 128 BCS were analysed by structural path analysis with aim examine PI PC relationship on sleep.The indirect effects...
