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...
The recognition of central sensitization (CS) is crucial, as it determines the results rehabilitation. aim this study was to examine associations between CS and catastrophizing, functionality, disability, illness perceptions, kinesiophobia, anxiety, depression in people with chronic shoulder pain (SP). In cross-sectional study, 64 patients unilateral SP completed a few questionnaires including Central Sensitization Inventory, Oxford Shoulder Score, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, Hospital...
Recent studies support the opinion that central sensitization (CS) plays an important role in pathophysiology of many chronic pain conditions. CS refers to hyperexcitability nervous system, which can result hypersensitivity and other somatosensory symptoms. Recognition CS-related symptomology is crucial evaluation rehabilitation. The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) was created evaluate symptoms have been found be associated with CS. aim current study cross-cultural adaptation CSI into...

This study aimed evaluate reliability validity IASP using vignettes, assessing their effectiveness in identifying pain settings. Methods: A accuracy was conducted 32 vignettes based on literature pre-existing data. represented patients with without characteristics...
Background Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are gaining popularity in healthcare. OpenAI released ChatGPT on November 30, 2022. is a language model that comprehends and generates human language, providing instant data analysis recommendations. This particularly significant the dynamic field of physiotherapy, where its integration has potential to enhance healthcare efficiency.
The objectives of this study were to estimate the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) Conditioned Modulation (CPM) in healthy participants patients with chronic shoulder pain. Additionally, Standard Error Measurement (SEM) Smallest Detectable Change (SDC) calculated. Thirty-one volunteers twenty pain assessed using PPT CPM by two raters, a 24 h interval between sessions. Excellent was demonstrated for PPT, similar SEM SDC when same rater. PPTs moderate good...
