Empathy is an essential component of our social lives, allowing us to understand and share other people's affective sensory states, including pain.

Furthermore, it yet unclear correlates converge across different stimuli paradigms that evoke pain-empathy. We performed...

Abstract Pain education is a popular treatment approach for persistent pain that involves learning variety of concepts about (ie, target concepts), which thought to be an important part recovery. Yet, little known what patients value pain. A mixed-methods survey was conducted identify were valued by people with who improved after science intervention. An online distributed 123 treated approach; responses participants self-identified as “improved” analysed. Open-ended questions analysed using...

Objectives The Internet in general, and YouTube particular, is now one of the most popular sources health-related information. Pain neuroscience education has become a primary tool for managing persistent pain, based part on discovery that information about pain can change pain. Our objective was to examine availability, characteristics, content videos address Methods We conducted systematic review using search terms “pain education”, “what pain”, brain” January 2018.

The predominant definition of fear cancer recurrence (FCR) conflates FCR with progression (FOP). However, this assumption has never been tested. Importantly, if and FOP are distinct have different predictors, existing interventions for may not be equally effective survivors who rather than their disease. present study aimed to determine whether empirically equivalent; they predicted by the same theoretically derived variables.Three hundred eleven adults a history breast or ovarian were...
Abstract Pain science education (PSE) provides people with an understanding of “how pain works” grounded in the biopsychosocial model pain; it has been demonstrated to improve outcomes musculoskeletal conditions. Preliminary evidence suggests PSE may be effective for female individuals persistent pelvic pain, but how content needs modified this group remains determined. A reflexive thematic analysis qualitative data was performed identify concepts that consider important and why. Twenty...
Negative interpretation bias, the tendency to appraise ambiguous situations in a negative or threatening way, has been suggested be important for development of adult chronic pain. To our knowledge, this is first study examine role bias adolescent We developed and piloted novel task that measures adolescents interpret as indicative pain bodily threat. Using separate community sample (N = 115), we then found who catastrophize about pain, well those reported more issues preceding 3 months,...
This study considered the attentional functioning of adolescents with varying levels pain catastrophizing. Specifically, we investigated relationship between catastrophizing and attention bias to facial expressions. Furthermore, drawing on dual process models in context pain, moderating role control this relationship. Adolescents (N = 73; age, 16-18 years) performed a dot-probe task which expressions neutral were presented for 100 milliseconds 1250 milliseconds. Participants also completed...
Abstract Background Pain is common and can be debilitating in childhood. Theoretical models propose that attention to pain plays a key role outcomes, however, very little research has investigated this youth. This study examined how anxiety‐related variables control interacted predict children's cues using eye‐tracking methodology, their tolerance on the cold pressor test ( CPT ). Methods Children aged 8–17 years had eye‐gaze tracked whilst they viewed photographs of other children...
Abstract Objective Somatic symptoms (e.g., pain, fatigue) are common after childhood cancer and associated with greater fear of recurrence poorer health‐related quality life (HRQoL). Qualitative studies indicate that survivors (SCCs) worry about somatic as indicating recurrence, which could in part explain associations between psychosocial outcomes. However, the prevalence, characteristics, impact symptom has not been quantitatively studied. Methods SCCs ( N = 111; 52% female; M age at study...
PURPOSE The number of cancer survivors living with and beyond treatment is rising globally. It fundamental to understand the extent type psychosocial care services offered worldwide. We evaluated models survivorship care, practices in post-treatment phase, barriers/facilitators delivery services, including low- middle-income countries (LMICs). METHODS International Psycho-Oncology Society (IPOS) Survivorship Special Interest Group led a cross-sectional online survey between March November...
