Background: The objectives were to determine the prevalence of de novo and persistent pelvic pain after benign hysterectomy and to assess risk factors.
Methods: A Swedish prospective multicenter study of 440 women undergoing benign hysterectomy was conducted between October 2011 and March 2017. Measures of pain, the spatial extent of bodily pain, and pain sensitivity were assessed using a self-reporting questionnaire, Margolis's patient pain drawing, and quantitative sensory testing of pain thresholds for pressure, heat, and cold, respectively.
Background: Persistent postsurgical pain (PPSP) following thoracic surgery affects 40%-60% of patients undergoing lung resection due to malignancies. Postoperative pain-related symptoms are common, leading to limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and deterioration in physical function, which significantly impacts quality of life. Pain-related limitations are of interest, as postsurgical pain may present as a target for intervention to improve postoperative rehabilitation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the variability of pain profiles, specifically temporal summation of pain (TSP) and conditioned pain modulation (CPM), among patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain and compares them to pain-free individuals.
- It identifies distinct pain profiles based on TSP and CPM levels and finds high TSP and low CPM most prevalent in fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis patients.
- Despite the differences in pain profiles, there were no significant correlations found between these profiles and the intensity of clinical pain experienced by patients.
