Aim: To investigate the relation of depression and pain-related disability associated with Low Back Pain (LBP).
Material And Methods: The Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Zung Depression Scale were sent to 3800 randomly select adults in Kayseri, Turkey. The demographic characteristics of the participants (Socioeconomic status, age etc) and low back pain (frequency, intensity, duration) features together with pain-related factors were investigated in responding participants. The participants who had self-reported LBP during the study period were accepted as the study group.
Results: 807 (37.1%) of the participants reported that they had low back pain at the time of interview. The study group had a score of 52.91+/-24.20 mm for VAS, 52.30+/-10.67 for the Zung Depression Scale and 24.53+/-17.22 for the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale. Age, female gender, smoking ( > 20 cigarettes per day), low socioeconomical status and living in a rural habitat were found to be associated with low back pain. Depression (P= 0.017) and disability (P= 0.002) were found to be independent risk factors for VAS.
Conclusion: Determination of the frequency and intensity of low back pain and related factors is needed for the prevention and management of pain. Mood disorders and self reported restriction in daily activities should be screened in patients with low back pain.

Background: Neuropathic pain resulting from spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with persistent hyperactivity of primary nociceptors. Anandamide (AEA) has been reported to modulate neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission through activation of cannabinoid type-1 receptors (CB1Rs) and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). However, the role of AEA and these receptors in the hyperactivity of nociceptors after SCI remains unclear.

Inter-individual variability in symptoms and the dynamic nature of brain pathophysiology present significant challenges in constructing a robust diagnostic model for migraine. In this study, we aimed to integrate different types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), providing structural and functional information, and develop a robust machine learning model that classifies migraine patients from healthy controls by testing multiple combinations of hyperparameters to ensure stability across different migraine phases and longitudinally repeated data. Specifically, we constructed a diagnostic model to classify patients with episodic migraine from healthy controls, and validated its performance across ictal and interictal phases, as well as in a longitudinal setting.

The landscape of nicotine use in the United States (US) has continued to evolve, with electronic cigarette use (hereafter e-cigarette) becoming more evident in recent years. Patterns of dual nicotine use, or using combustible nicotine in conjunction with e-cigarettes, may increase dependence on nicotine, continued exposure to toxins, and corresponding health risks. One of the most prevalent health problems related to nicotine use is the experience of chronic pain.

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a medically complex, multifaceted gynecological condition associated with psychological comorbidities and sexual trauma among women. Low rates of positive treatment outcomes underscore the need to better understand complex relationships between CPP, trauma exposure, and the psychosocial context of patients' lives. We conducted a secondary analysis of English and Spanish qualitative interviews with female-identity patients (N = 48) about CPP's impact on psychosocial well-being.
