Consensus on the preoperative management of patients with chronic moderate to severe shoulder pain to improve postoperative outcomes: Delphi results.

Background: Appropriate preoperative management of patients with chronic moderate to severe shoulder pain who are candidates for surgery owing to rotator cuff disease or glenohumeral osteoarthritis may improve surgery and patient outcomes, but published evidence in this regard is scarce. Therefore, the availability of recommendations on preoperative interventions based on expert consensus may serve as guidance.

Methods: A Delphi study was conducted to develop a preoperative management algorithm based on a national expert consensus.

Efficacy and Safety of Celiac Plexus Neurolysis in the Treatment of Chronic Pain Secondary to Oncological Pathology of the Upper Hemiabdomen: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: The management of chronic pain among patients with abdominal cancer is complex; against that, the neurolysis of the celiac plexus (CPN) is the best technique at the moment o determine the efficacy and safety in the treatment of chronic pain secondary to oncological pathology of the upper abdomen.

Material And Methods: This was a systematic review of controlled clinical trials between 2000 and 2021, in the sources MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Three independent evaluators analysed the results of the bibliographical research.

Differential efficacy with epidural blood and fibrin patches for the treatment of post-dural puncture headache.

Background: Accidental dural puncture (ADP) is the most frequent major complication when performing an epidural procedure in obstetrics. Consequently, loss of pressure in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leads to the development of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH), which occurs in 16%-86% of cases. To date, the efficacy of epidural fibrin patches (EFP) has not been evaluated in a controlled clinical trial, nor in comparative studies with epidural blood patches (EBP).

Profiles of adult people in a Spanish sample with chronic pain: Cluster analysis.

Aim: To establish groups of people with chronic non-cancer pain according to the impairment caused by pain and to identify factors associated with the group with a higher level of impairment.

Background: Knowing the profiles of people who suffer from chronic non-cancer pain could make it possible to direct their treatment and to detect associated risks.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Effectiveness of telemedicine psychoeducational interventions for adults with non-oncological chronic disease: A systematic review.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of telemedicine psychoeducational interventions (PIs) in adult patients on the clinical management of chronic non-oncological diseases compared with another therapeutic option or no treatment.

Design: Systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Data Sources: Six databases were searched between January 2011 and August 2021.

Design and preliminarily validation of a tool to assess the impact of chronic non-cancer pain on people's daily life in Spanish-language: PAIN_Integral Scale.

Aim: To build and preliminarily validate a Spanish-language instrument to assess the impact that CNCP has on the daily lives of people who suffer from it.

Background: The experience of pain is multifactorial and a correct assessment of it helps to control the intensity of pain. Although there are instruments that evaluate areas on which Chronic Non-Cancer Pain impacts, it would be necessary to include other aspects that scientific literature identifies as relevant.

Results of the Use of a Simulator for Training in Anesthesia and Regional Analgesia Guided by Ultrasound.

Show the learning results obtained by a simulation tool used by students of an online course on anesthesia techniques and regional analgesia guided by ultrasound. A satisfaction survey generated with a form of Google Forms was carried out in September 2018 with 14 questions related to the quality, ease and capacity of the learning obtained after the use of the nerve blocks Simulator, which was firstly published on the first edition of the course for 34 students. An average of 7.

Cultural adaptation and validation of the painDETECT scale into Spanish.

Objective: The aim of this study was to culturally adapt into Spanish and validate the painDETECT questionnaire, a brief self-administered instrument designed to screen the presence of a neuropathic pain component in usual clinical practice.

Methods: The original English painDETECT questionnaire was culturally adapted into Spanish (Spain) by 2 independent translators under supervision of an expert panel. The LANNS, and a pain visual analog scale were administered along with the painDETECT questionnaire to a sample of 252 patients with neuropathic, nociceptive, or mixed pain for at least 3 months.
