Background: COVID-19 has transformed the landscape of telemedicine utilization, shifting from predominantly in-person services to increased virtual encounters. Although telemedicine offers increased accessibility for medical care, many advocates voice concern about utilization and satisfaction with these services among individuals who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) given the unique practical, mental, and physical health challenges many face.
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate differences in telemedicine utilization and satisfaction, as well as global health and perceived loneliness, among data-driven patterns of IPV during the early phases of the pandemic.
Article Synopsis
- Evidence-based treatments for chronic low back pain (cLBP) often fail to work effectively for many patients, highlighting the need for personalized treatment approaches.
- The study involves a randomized controlled trial with 400 cLBP patients, where they will first participate in a web-based pain self-management program followed by tailored interventions if they show minimal improvement.
- The research aims to identify different pain mechanisms among patients, predict their responses to various treatments, and explore new assessment measures through in-depth phenotyping methods.
Article Synopsis
- Higher perceived social support can lessen the negative health effects of childhood abuse, but its role in affecting pain-related issues is unclear.
- A study with 1,542 patients at a pain clinic used surveys to investigate how childhood abuse influences pain characteristics through emotional support.
- Results showed that childhood abuse contributes to a more complicated pain experience and poorer social support perceptions, indicating that early trauma may harm social relationships and thereby affect pain perception over time.
Background: Self-reported side effects of pain medication are important determinants of treatment course that can affect patient adherence, medication discontinuation and physician decisions. Yet, few studies have investigated patient-level predictors of self-reported pain medication side effects. The present study sought to fill this gap by exploring the impact of physical or sexual abuse history on self-reported pain medication side effects and considered a mediation model in which those effects are transmitted through a centralized pain phenotype and pain catastrophizing.
