PaiNEd app. Assessing central sensitization in survivors of breast cancer: A reliability study.

Introduction: Pain is a common adverse event in survivors of breast cancer (sBCs). As there is no gold standard to assess pain experience predominantly related to central sensitization (CS) symptoms, we designed the , which includes an algorithm to report whether patients are under predominant CS pain mechanisms.

Objective: We aimed to assess the reliability of the to estimate whether sBC pain experience is predominantly related to CS symptoms.

Efficacy of photobiomodulation therapy combined with mobile health education in patients with head and neck cancer suffering from chronic xerostomia after radiotherapy: protocol for a three-arm, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study.

Introduction: The role of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy for oral tissue damage induced by cancer treatment is currently unclear, and there is low-quality to moderate-quality evidence supporting the use of this approach for treating xerostomia and/or hyposalivation. Consequently, patients with head and neck cancer increasingly turn to basic oral hygiene to alleviate salivary gland dysfunction, and their adherence can be improved by mobile health (mHealth) education. The primary objective of this study will be to analyse the effects of different doses of PBM therapy (7.

Persistent pain management in an oncology population through pain neuroscience education, a multimodal program: PaiNEd randomized clinical trial protocol.

Introduction: Pain is one of the most persistent symptoms after cancer treatment. The central nervous system can erroneously stay in its alarm phase, altering the pain experience of patients who have cancer. Pain neuroscience education (PNE) with multimodal approaches may benefit these patients.

Upper body motor function and swallowing impairments and its association in survivors of head and neck cancer: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Upper body motor function and swallowing may be affected after curative treatment for head and neck cancer. The aims of this study are to compare maximum mouth opening (MMO), temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD), cervical and shoulder active range of motion (AROM) and strength, and swallowing difficulty between survivors of head and neck cancer (sHNC) and healthy matched controls (HMC) and to examine the correlations between these outcomes in sHNC.

Methods: Thirty-two sHNC and 32 HMC participated on the study.

Role of radiosurgery in the management of glomus tumors.

Background: Glomus tumors are benign slow-growing hypervascular neoplasms. The role of radiosurgery for the treatment of these tumors has increased. The purpose of this study was to show our experience with glomus tumors and to analyze different prognostic factors.

Salvage radiosurgery for selected patients with recurrent malignant gliomas.

Purpose: To analyse the survival after salvage radiosurgery and to identify prognostic factors.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 87 consecutive patients, with recurrent high-grade glioma, that underwent stereotactic radiosurgery between 1997 and 2010. We evaluated the survival after initial diagnosis and after reirradiation.

Selective use of postoperative neck radiotherapy in oral cavity and oropharynx cancer: a prospective clinical study.

Background: In cervical postoperative radiotherapy, the target volume is usually the same as the extension of the previous dissection. We evaluated a protocol of selective irradiation according to the risk estimated for each dissected lymph node level.

Methods: Eighty patients with oral/oropharyngeal cancer were included in this prospective clinical study between 2005 and 2008.

Spinal cord astrocytoma: multidisciplinary experience.

Background: Astrocytomas of the spinal cord have rarely been reported. We examined our experience, treatment and outcome of patients treated during the last four years.

Material And Methods: We reviewed the charts from patients treated for this neoplasm in a multidisciplinary team of Granada, Spain.
