Article Synopsis
- This review examines the prevalent aetiological perspectives in the literature surrounding three major functional somatic syndromes: fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), alongside their psychiatric classifications.
- A total of 452 reviews were analyzed, revealing that 90% discussed biological factors, while psychological, social, and healthcare factors were mentioned less frequently, with low methodological quality noted in many of the systematic reviews.
- The authors emphasize the need for future research to adopt a thorough biopsychosocial approach in studying aetiological factors for functional somatic syndromes, moving beyond simplistic models and improving scientific rigor.
Objectives: Patients' beliefs about pain play an important role in their readiness to engage with chronic pain self-management. The central aim of this study was to validate a self-report instrument to assess a specific set of pain beliefs, patients' endorsement of a biopsychosocial model of chronic pain Patients' Endorsement of a Biopsychosocial Model of Chronic Pain Scale (PEB).
Methods: Interdisciplinary experts in the field of pain were involved in creating an instrument, the PEB Scale, to operationalize patients' endorsement of a biopsychosocial pain model.
Objective: The opioid crisis in the USA remains severe during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has reduced access to evidence-based interventions. This Stage 1 randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessed the preliminary efficacy of Zoom-based Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) plus Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention (JITAI) prompts to practice mindfulness triggered by wearable sensors (MORE + JITAI).
Method: Opioid-treated chronic pain patients ( = 63) were randomized to MORE + JITAI or a Zoom-based supportive group (SG) psychotherapy control.
